3. 3Prepare garlic bread base

   Mix softened butter with grated garlic (parsley optional). Slice bread in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter evenly (optionally, you can bake it in the oven (400°F (200°C)) for 10 minutes before adding all the layers).

   Optionally bake the buttered bread for 10 minutes before adding toppings for a crispier base.

5. 5Bake until golden14 min

   Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 13–15 minutes, until cheese melts and edges turn golden. Optional: broil 1–2 minutes for color.

   Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra color and crispiness.

6. 6Mix ranch dressing

   Combine mayonnaise, sour cream or greek yogurt, milk or buttermilk, grated garlic, lemon juice or white vinegar, dried dill, dried parsley, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.

   Greek yogurt works as a lighter substitute for sour cream. Buttermilk adds a tangier flavor than regular milk.
