Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe

Garlic bread has many faces and our love for it knows no end. If there's one thing I know about my family, they clamor for homemade bread in any form. I know what you're thinking, I must be referring to biscuits and cornbread. While neither of those are ever turned down at our house, my family indulges in many other breads more often than not. Breads, such as my cheese laden Garlic Bread Loaf  is delicious served as an appetizer with warm Pizza Sauce. Then, there's my completely made from scratch Dutch Oven Artisan White Bread, that makes the most speculator sandwiches. This simple garlic bread requires no bread making at all and the result is delicious.
