In a small bowl, use a fork to blend 4 tablespoons of softened butter or margarine with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Spread each slice of bread on top and bottom with butter mixture, and place the slices in a baking pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. Turn, after half-way through baking, if you like. Remove from pan, and place on a nice serving dish. This bread is interesting and tasty, and goes with anything from steak to a full Italian meal. No one will ever guess it is so quick and easy to make!!
