    Prepare the Garlic Butter

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

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Assembly

    Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise. Place both halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

  2. 4

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of both halves of the baguette. Drizzle olive oil over the top for added flavor.

Baking

    Bake the Bread

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
