Bread

Garlic Butter Mixture

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your garlic bread cooks evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a medium bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl. Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise, ensuring not to cut all the way through so that the halves remain connected.

  4. 4

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the baguette, ensuring an even layer.

Baking

  1. 5

    Wrap the Bread

    Wrap the prepared baguette halves in aluminum foil to keep the moisture in while baking.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Place the wrapped baguette in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes.

  3. 7

    Broil for Crispiness

    After 15 minutes, remove the foil and switch the oven to broil. Broil the garlic bread for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely until the edges are golden and crispy.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice it into pieces and serve warm.
