Bread

Dipping Sauces

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the bread is baked evenly and achieves a golden brown color.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice each French baguette in half lengthwise. You should end up with 4 halves, which will give you 24 pieces when sliced into smaller sections.

Garlic Butter Mixture

  1. 3

    Make Garlic Butter

    In a medium bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 4

    Spread the Mixture

    Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on the cut sides of each half of the baguette.

Cheese Topping

  1. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese generously over the garlic buttered sides of the baguette halves.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Bread

    Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 7

    Broil for Crispiness

    For an extra crispy topping, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice each baguette half into 6 pieces to create a total of 24 individual garlic cheese bread pieces.

  2. 9

    Prepare Dipping Sauces

    Serve the garlic cheese bread warm with marinara sauce and ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
