Bread
Garlic Butter
Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a medium bowl, soften the unsalted butter. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl. Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the butter along with the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Slice the Bread
Take the loaf of baguette or Italian bread and slice it in half lengthwise. If you prefer, you can also slice it into individual pieces for easier serving.
Baking
Bake the Garlic Bread
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the butter is melted.
Optional Broil
For an extra crispy top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Serving
Slice and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Slice into pieces if you haven't already, and serve warm.
