1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread.
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Add minced garlic (4 cloves), chopped fresh parsley (2 tablespoons), salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3
Slice the Baguette
Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise, making sure not to cut all the way through, so it stays attached at the bottom.
4
Spread the Garlic Butter
Generously spread the prepared garlic butter over the cut sides of the baguette. Ensure that the butter is evenly distributed to cover the bread completely.
5
Bake the Garlic Bread
Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
6
Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute. Slice into pieces and serve warm, optionally garnished with additional parsley.
