Grandma’s Favourite Mustard Bread
Every family has a recipe that’s been passed down and perfected over time—this one belongs to my wife’s grandma. While most folks are grabbing garlic bread off the grocery store shelf, this tangy, buttery mustard bread takes things to the next level. It’s crispy, savory, and hits you with just the right amount of zip.
Once you try it, you’ll never look at garlic bread the same way again. It’s the kind of side that might just steal the spotlight from your brisket.
How to Make Grandma’s Favourite Mustard Bread
Preparation
Preheat your smoker or BBQ to 350°F. Slice your bread loaf lengthwise to expose the most surface area possible—this helps soak up all that buttery goodness. In a small bowl, combine softened butter with yellow mustard and stir until smooth. Spread the mixture generously across the surface of the bread. Finish it off with a hearty sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions for flavor and a little texture.
Cooking
Place the bread, mustard side up, directly on your grill or smoker grates. Let it toast for about 10 minutes at 350°F, or until the edges are crispy and the topping has fully melted into the bread. You’re aiming for golden brown with some crispy bite.
Serving
Slice the bread into strips or squares and serve it hot. It’s the perfect side for anything smoked—brisket, ribs, pulled pork, or even chili. Trust me, it won’t last long on the table.
