Grilled Bread Recipe

May 15, 2021 · 1 Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’m here to make the case that this grilled bread recipe is the best grilled or grilling side dish recipe ever!  Yes, I know it sounds super simple, but it is just that – simple and delicious.  You just may find yourself wanting to make it every time you grill this summer. This recipe is great for grilled ciabatta, grilled focaccia, and grilled sourdough bread.

Grilled bread tastes great with any grilled meat, like chicken or with vegetables.  Enjoy this bread as a side with some tasty dips (like this cheesy blt dip or the best cheesy bacon dip).

This blt dip is actually where I discovered grilled bread.  That dish was originally a recreation from a restaurant I went to and they serve their dips with grilled ciabatta bread and, well, it’s basically the best ever!

Do you see what’s in the corner of the above picture?  It’s the roasted chicken recipe that I love so much.  It is grilling in the background of these photos and tastes great with grilled bread (I always serve it with grilled focaccia).  You know what else I love both on the grill and with grilled bread? these vegetables – yum!

How do you make grilled ciabatta bread?
  1. Cut bread into 4 pieces.  You can, of course, cut these smaller if you’d like!  They are easiest to grill in larger pieces.
  2. Generously drizzle extra virgin olive oil.  A quality olive oil is always best.
  3. Sprinkle with garlic powder and onion salt.
  4. Grill, flip, grill (oh and by the way, we love these tongs!)
  5. Cut, serve and enjoy!

This grilled bread recipe is so easy and just as tasty.  The garlic powder and salt is a perfect mixture for just the right amount of flavor.  If you’re looking for a great alternative to traditional bread sides, like garlic bread, this grilled bread is the answer!
