Trader Joe's - French bread and garlic bread

Does anyone know whether Trader Joe's has either frozen French bread loaves, or, even better, frozen garlic bread? Because I am not sure I'm making my garlic bread the right way, and store-bought usually uses margarine (I always use butter).

Even if they don't have garlic bread, I will need a source for French bread and am annoyed that it only lasts for a day anyway, so frozen would be great.

Saint Pizza,

why don't you buy some of TJ's fresh french bread, slice it into the sizes you want, and then freeze it? You can take out as much or as little as you want at a time. I do this every time I buy french bread, since it gets hard within a day - a quick toast or bake revives the frozen bread beautifully.

To answer your question, I haven't seen frozen garlic bread at TJ's.

Why are you not sure you're "making yours the right way?"

I do the same as messycook, but I buy the demi loaves and leave them whole. it doesn't take very long to crisp them up and warm them through in the toaster oven, and they don't take up much room in the freezer. When freezing, I give them an extra wrap of aluminum foil and put them in a ziploc bag.

There seem to be two different ways of making garlic bread - putting the topping between slices of bread, or putting it on top of slices of bread. My mom always put it between short-wise slices of bread, giving you topping on both sides. I like to do it lengthwise, and turn over partway through.

So here is my recipe -

let unsalted butter soften to room temp
crush garlic cloves into butter
mush together, add salt to taste
schmear on cut sides of french bread
sliced lengthwise
put bread back together, wrap loosely in foil
put into oven and bake until warmed through
Open foil, open halves, toast or top broil until
butter bubbles - do not burn bread!

Options - fresh herbs mixed into butter,
sprinkle of paprika or parmesan or both.

This is really a "to taste" kind of thing. My mom
always used margarine and garlic powder, and it
was still very good, even though she never unwrapped
the foil or did any toast/top brown
