1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread.
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic (from 4 cloves), chopped parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3
Slice the Baguette
Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise to create two long pieces. If desired, you can also cut the pieces into smaller portions for easier serving.

4
Spread the Garlic Butter
Using a butter knife or spatula, generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.

5
Bake the Garlic Bread
Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the butter is melted.
6
Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing further if needed. Serve warm as a delicious side to your favorite meal.
