Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a medium bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic (from the 4 cloves), chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Slice the Bread

    Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two long pieces.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the French bread.

  2. 5

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and drizzle olive oil over the buttered bread.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Bread

    Place the garlic bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the butter has melted.

  2. 7

    Broil for Extra Crispiness

    For an extra crispy topping, switch the oven to broil and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 8

    Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice into pieces, and serve warm.
