Bread Base
Garlic Butter Mixture
Optional Toppings
Method
Prepare the Garlic Butter
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until it's completely liquid.
Chop the Garlic
While the butter is melting, finely mince the garlic cloves using a knife or garlic press.
Combine Ingredients
Once the butter is melted, remove it from heat and stir in the minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Prepare the Bread
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the Bread
Take the Italian bread loaf and slice it in half lengthwise. You can also slice it into smaller sections if you prefer individual pieces.
Bake the Garlic Bread
Add Optional Toppings
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and/or mozzarella cheese over the buttered bread for an extra cheesy flavor.
Bake
Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese (if used) is bubbling.
Serving
Slice and Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice it into pieces and serve warm.
