1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your garlic bread toasts evenly.
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
3
Slice the Baguette
Using a serrated bread knife, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise. If you prefer smaller pieces, you can cut the baguette into individual slices instead.

4
Spread the Garlic Butter
Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette. Make sure to cover all areas for maximum flavor.
5
Toast the Bread
Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

6
Slice and Serve
Once baked, remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. If you haven’t already sliced it, cut it into individual pieces. Serve warm.
