Why settle for plain old garlic bread when you can add a pop of colour, flavour, and immunity-goodness with some turmeric?
This Turmeric Garlic Bread recipe is one to try if you’re looking to take your garlic bread game up a notch. Roasting the garlic in olive oil brings out its sweet, nutty flavour. Meanwhile, the combination of butter, parsley, ginger, and turmeric come together to create a mouthwatering spread that will have your taste buds singing. And when you slather it on top of warm, crusty sourdough bread and bake it to crispy perfection, it’s an absolute game-changer.
The best part? All this quick and delicious golden bread needs is six simple ingredients – we like to make things even easier by using The Broth Sisters Activated Turmeric and Ginger Paste, but of course fresh turmeric and ginger would be an absolute treat too . This turmeric garlic bread is aromatic, totally delicious and the perfect side dish to complement any meal! It makes for the perfect accompaniment to any pasta, salad, or soup, and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. There’s just something about that warm, buttery, garlicky goodness that makes everyone’s mouth water.

So Many Reasons to Love Turmeric
Turmeric is most widely cultivated and used in India, both in flavoursome curry dishes and as part of Ayurvedic medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic and Western herbal medicine all use Turmeric as a therapeutic substance to treat a number of conditions. These include respiratory ailments and digestive disturbances (stimulating liver function and reducing abdominal pain and bloating).
More recent research has helped to identify the mechanism for the powerful healing properties of turmeric (and particularly it’s constituent, curcumin). Exceptional anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity have been demonstrated. With chronic inflammation being an enemy to health and wellbeing, it is not surprising that numerous possible applications have been investigated with very promising results.
Note: Bioavailability of turmeric is limited, therefore it is recommended that black pepper be added where appropriate. This has has been shown to significantly enhance absorption.
