Make Homemade Garlic Bread with Ciabatta Buns

We love a good crusty, butter garlic bread and while I love to make my mom’s version of homemade garlic bread, I really love a garlic bread with bread that is thicker and has some holes in it, for lack of a better description.

Turns out, ciabatta buns are perfect for making garlic bread because they soak up butter well and get nice and crispy. If you have leftover ciabatta buns, this is a great way to use them up. But I buy them just to make this recipe now!
