1
Soften the Butter
In a medium bowl, allow 1 cup of unsalted butter to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it becomes soft and spreadable.
2
Prepare the Garlic
While the butter is softening, peel and finely mince 4 cloves of garlic.
3
Mix the Ingredients
Add the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to taste into the softened butter. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
4
Chill the Herb Butter
Transfer the herb butter mixture back to the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.

5
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
6
Slice the Baguette
Take the baguette and slice it in half horizontally to create two long halves.
7
Spread the Herb Butter
Remove the herb butter from the refrigerator. Use a knife to spread a generous amount of the prepared herb butter evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.
8
Toast the Bread
Place the baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the butter is bubbling.
9
Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
