How to Reheat Garlic Bread in the Oven?

I would say that if you really want the bread to taste and retain its original crispiness even after being reheated, then you need to reheat the left over garlic bread in the oven.

Reheating garlic bread in oven does not need much effort and it is as easy as any other method. Pre-heat the oven to 350o degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap the whole bread or the sliced bread in aluminum foil. In case the bread is a bit dried out, sprinkling a little water on it will help. Wrapping in aluminum foil ensures the crust remains soft and tender and the inside of bread is evenly warmed through.
