Garlic Bread Recipe

Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Prepare the Baguette

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise using a serrated knife, creating two long pieces of bread to apply the garlic butter.

Spread the Garlic Butter

Spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the baguette, ensuring the butter reaches the edges for maximum flavor.

Toast the Bread

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the buttered baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the garlic butter is bubbling.

Serve

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