Yeah, garlic bread is typically even simpler than bruschetta. Usually, it's sourdough bread (often a baguette cut once lengthwise) with a mix of butter & garlic on top, & then broiled lightly or toasted. Sometimes it's topped with parsley or melted cheese, but often it's just plain.
It's often served as a side in Italian restaurants in America, but you see it at a lot of different kinds of places, like barbecue joints & even standard coffee shops. Americans really grow up on it.
