1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature ensures the garlic bread gets crispy and golden.
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic cloves (finely chopped), chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3
Slice the Baguette
Take the French baguette and slice it in half lengthwise. Each half should be spread with the garlic butter mixture.

4
Spread the Garlic Butter
Generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the baguette halves.
5
Wrap in Foil
Wrap each half of the baguette in aluminum foil to help retain moisture while baking.
6
Bake in the Oven
Place the wrapped baguette halves directly on the oven rack and bake for about 15 minutes. This allows the butter to melt and the flavors to meld.
7
Unwrap and Toast
After 15 minutes, carefully unwrap the foil and place the baguette halves cut side up on a baking sheet. Return to the oven and toast for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

8
Slice and Serve
Once the garlic bread is golden and crispy, remove it from the oven. Let it cool for a minute, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
