Garlic Bread Seasoning

Okay, I'm throwing Sara a fast one because this is not what was planned for today. But I've come to realize that Johnny's garlic bread seasoning isn't available everywhere. This week, I have literally checked out every store in my area that supposedly carries Johnny's and no one has it. And as much as I love it, I'm not about to shell out $7 to have a $6 jar of garlic bread seasoning shipped to me. So I decided to make my own and share the recipe with all of you because I'm sure there are plenty of you in the same pickle.

This is about as easy as it gets.


Garlic Bread Seasoning
print recipe text only

1/2 c. powdered Parmesan cheese
2 tsp. Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. basil
2 tsp. marjoram
2 tsp. parsley


Combine ingredients in a jar (preferably one with a sprinkle top) and shake. Well, don't shake until you've put the lid on, but I assume most of you are smart enough to figure that out! :)


Sprinkle on top of breadsticks or combine 1 1/2 Tbsp. seasoning with 1/2 c. of softened real butter and spread on a loaf of French bread (cut in 1/2 lengthwise). Wrap in foil and bake at 375 until butter's melted. If you want, you could also pop it open-faced under the broiler for a few minutes so it gets brownish and crispy.

oooh, you sneaky sneaky girl ;)

That looks yummy!

Alisa said...

Thanks for this. I can't wait to try it.

FYI, Costco sells Johnny's! ;)

Kate said...

Sadly, we have no Costco here. Every time I remember that, I die a little inside! ;)

Erin said...

Now that I have moved back to Utah, I specifically looked up your breadstick recipe so I could find the brand name of the garlic bread seasoning that I have to go purchase (Johnny's, here I come). I'm sorry you don't have a Costco Kate. Do you at least have a Sam's Club???

Lisa said...

I was at Costco (Manteca, CA) yesterday and it wasn't there :-(

Nate and Jessica said...

Thank you for this...do you refrigerate it?

Kate said...

You know, I probably *should*, but I never have. I probably will next time I make it, though. Just be sure to keep it in an airtight container so no moisture gets inside...

I just made this tonight and I messed up the breadstick dough (totally my fault...turned the oven on to warm it up for a second before putting the dough in for the second rise and I forgot I turned it on! Argh!), but this seasoning was DELICIOUS! Loved it!

I love this seasoning and not just on bread. The other day I was cooking salmon. As I was popping the salmon into foil, I decided it needed more than just oil and put this seasoning on top. The salmon was lovely, nice garlicy taste and didn't overpower the salmon.

I've tried making stuff like this before, but it's never tasted this good. I realized after making this that it was marjoram I was missing! It's like the "secret" flavor or something. I've been putting this on everything lately- we especially love it on top of pizza.

Kate said...

Thanks for the recipe! It's so yummy- I am completely addicted! I can't wait to try it as the secret ingredient in pizza sauce.

Has any one tried this with a little rosemary? Rosemary is FANTASTIC on pizzas.

Meridee said...

Where can I buy powdered parmesan cheese in UT?

Kate @ Our Best Bites said...

Meridee--It's just that powdery, white Parmesan cheese in the green can, probably the stuff you put on spaghetti as a kid. :) It seems like it's at different places in different stores, but I've seen it everywhere from the cheese section to the Italian aisle. I'd ask someone at the store if you're having trouble finding it, but I'm sure they have it. Good luck!! :)

Meridee said...

Oh it's just the grated parmesan cheese??? Sorry I thought it was a spice. Hello!

geegarland said...

Any suggestions for what I can substitute for the marjoram? I don't have any and don't have to time to get to a store!

Sara @ Our Best Bites said...

geegarland- if you're in a major pinch, just leave it out :) But next time you're at the store grab some because it really adds the magical flavor here!

Is this Parmesan cheese ok to use?

Does this mixture need to be kept in the fridge, because of the cheese? Or am I supposed to have a different type of Parmesan that doesnt need to be kept in the fridge?

Cant wait to try this, thanks so much

Sara @ Our Best Bites said...

Sadia- yes, that works great. And it will keep longer if you store it in the fridge.
