Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Make sure it doesn’t brown.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    While the butter is melting, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    Once the butter is melted, remove it from heat and stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Assembling the Bread

  1. 4

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise. This will create two long pieces for spreading the garlic butter.

  2. 5

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread, ensuring an even coat.

Toasting

  1. 6

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 7

    Toast the Bread

    Place the buttered bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

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