Bread

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add minced fresh garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. Stir well and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the footlong Italian bread in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces. Place the bread on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 3

    Spread Garlic Butter

    Using a brush or a spoon, evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the garlic buttered bread halves.

  3. 5

    Bake the Garlic Bread

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice into smaller pieces if desired, and serve warm.
