Notable Tips to Make This Dominos Garlic Butter Recipe Perfect
Here are some notable tips, that can help you to make this recipe perfect in the very first attempt. Check below
1. Use soft butter.
Let your butter sit out. Soft butter mixes much easier.
2. Soak the garlic first.
A quick soak makes the garlic skins come off fast. It saves time!
3. Use a garlic press.
It makes the garlic tiny and smooth so it melts into the butter.
4. Go slow with the garlic.
If you like strong garlic, add more. If you want it mild, add less.
5. Chop herbs very small.
Tiny bits of rosemary and cilantro mix better and taste nicer.
6. Mix really well.
Keep stirring until everything looks even. No big clumps!
7. Taste as you go.
Try a tiny bit. Add more chili flakes or herbs if you want more flavor.

Some Delicious Ways to Enjoy This Dominos Garlic Butter
Whether it’s a party, family function or you are enjoying this Dominos Garlic Butter at your home, the following serving ideas can make your meal more comfortable and delicious to enjoy.
1. Spread on fresh toast
We love slathering this garlic butter on warm toast. It melts instantly and gives you that Domino’s-style aroma right away.
2. Brush on homemade garlic bread
Honestly, this is our go-to. A quick brush before baking and the whole kitchen smells like a Domino’s oven.
3. Toss with hot pasta
When we’re short on time, mixing a spoonful into steaming pasta makes a buttery, garlicky bowl that tastes way fancier than it should.
4. Melt over grilled vegetables
We’ve tried this on roasted zucchini, carrots, even corn. The butter soaks into every crack-so good.
5. Rub on pizza crusts
Pizza night? We ALWAYS brush it on the crust. It instantly transforms plain crusts into that signature Domino’s finish.
6. Serve with steak or slow-cooked meats
A pat of this garlic butter melts beautifully over beef, especially something rich like our Sous Vide Beef Shank Recipe.
7. Stir into mashed potatoes
We’ve mixed it into mashed potatoes before-life-changing. The rosemary and garlic take it over the top.
8. Spread on warm naan or flatbread
Warm bread + this garlic butter = heaven. We make this combo embarrassingly often.
9. Finish seafood with it
Try melting a bit over shrimp or salmon. It adds a sharp garlicky punch that tastes restaurant-level.
10. Dip sauce for fries or potato wedges
We sometimes microwave a little bowl of it and use it as a dip. Warning: dangerously addictive.
How to Store and Reheat This Dominos Garlic Butter Properly
Keep the garlic butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will remain fresh for several days. If the butter becomes too firm, allow it a little bit of time at room temperature to soften.
For melting, warm a small quantity in the microwave for 5-8 seconds and it will go back to its liquid state, without melting or cooking the garlic.
FAQs on This Dominos Garlic Butter Recipe
Here, we’ve got you covered with some common questions about the Dominos Garlic Butter Recipe that people often ask.
1. Can I substitute unsalted butter for salted?
Yes! We’ve tried both. Unsalted butter is just fine – you’ll simply want to season the spread with a little salt to offset the raw garlic.
2. Can you wash raw garlic down your drain?
Absolutely. Here, the flavor-bomb quality comes from raw garlic in Domino’s style garlic butter. We have already tested sautéed garlic, but it softens and sweetens up here its sharp Domino’s edge.
3. How much garlic should I use?
We used around 30–35 because it’s no secret that we love a robust garlic kick. If you like spreading that’s more on the gentle side, begin with 15 to 20 cloves and just taste as you go.
4. Can I skip the rosemary?
Yes, totally. While fresh rosemary gives it a robust, earthy scent, we’ve done batches without and the butter still turns out amazing.
5. What can I use in place of rosemary?
It works well with dried rosemary. You can also omit it; the Italian seasoning and coriander together still add a lot of flavor.
6. What is the shelf life of garlic butter in the refrigerator?
In an airtight container, it remains fresh for three to four days, according to our experience. After the first day, the flavor actually becomes more complex.
7. Is it possible to freeze the garlic butter?
Indeed! We freeze it in tiny amounts. It tastes just as good and thaws quickly.
8. Before peeling, why soak the garlic?
since it preserves your sanity. Peeling time is cut in half because the skins come off so easily after soaking.
9. Can I use a food processor instead of a garlic mincer?
Yes, but pulse gently. We find the mincer gives the perfect fine texture without turning the garlic into paste.
10. What do you usually serve this butter with?
Honestly, everything – toast, pizza bases, garlic bread, sandwiches, naan, and even warm cooked pasta. It works on pretty much anything that needs a buttery, garlicky kick.
