1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic cloves (finely chopped), chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

3
Slice the Baguette
Cut the baguette in half lengthwise to create two long halves.
4
Spread the Garlic Butter
Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette halves.

5
Bake the Garlic Bread
Place the baguette 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 the butter is melted.
6
Optional: Broil for Extra Crispiness
For a crispier texture, switch the oven to broil and broil the garlic bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

7
Slice and Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
