Bread

Garlic Butter

Method

Preparation of Garlic Butter

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a medium bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Preparing the Bread

  1. 2

    Slice the Baguette

    Using a serrated knife, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise. This will create two long pieces of bread for toasting.

Assembling the Garlic Bread

  1. 3

    Spread Garlic Butter on Bread

    Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette halves, ensuring that the garlic and herbs are evenly distributed.

Toasting the Bread

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 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 brown and the butter is melted.

Serving

  1. 5

    Cut and Serve

    Once the garlic bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Cut the bread into pieces and serve warm.
