Kitchen Tools You’ll Need
How to Make Homemade Texas Toast
Preheat the oven to 425 Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Slice bread into 1 inch thick pieces if you haven’t already.
In a small bowl combine softened butter and garlic powder.
Use a butter knife to smear the garlic butter spread on BOTH sides on the bread. Do this to all 4 slices.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the side facing down on the pan is golden brown then flip and bake the other side 8-10 minutes. When finished, both sides will be crisp.
Take out of the oven, slice each one in half diagonally to make triangles and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Leftover Texas toast is best when stored frozen. They’ll last up to 3 months in the freezer. To do this, place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 2 hours. Then place the slices in a freezer-safe bag or container.
You can also store them at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for 3-4 days. But know they will be a little soggy.
Reheating Texas Toast
Reheat slices of Texas toast in a toaster or on a sheet pan in the oven at 375 degrees until crisp.
Variations To Make It Your Own
- Add Parmesan: If you prefer, you can add shredded Parmesan cheese to the top side of each slice while the bottom side is baking.
- More Garlic: If you prefer lots of garlic or you want to turn this into garlic bread, add more garlic powder to the recipe. You can also use real garlic instead of the powder.
Ideas For Serving Texas Toast
You can serve sourdough Texas toast with many different meals! Here’s a few ideas:
- Serve alongside pasta dishes like million dollar spaghetti or cajun chicken alfredo.
- Serve with soups like cajun chicken soup, tomato gnocchi soup, and crockpot stuffed pepper soup.
- Serve alongside chicken dishes like balsamic strawberry chicken, boneless buffalo chicken wings, and skillet pomegranate chicken breast.

Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can use any bread you’d like. But I highly recommend using sourdough.
I love using my sourdough artisan bread recipe baked in a loaf pan.
I use salted butter for this recipe. If you choose to use unsalted you can just add a little salt to your mixture.
