Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the butter. Chop the fresh parsley finely and mix it into the butter. Add salt and black pepper to taste, then mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Slice the Baguette

    Using a serrated knife, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise, creating two long halves.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on the cut side of each half of the baguette, ensuring even coverage.

  2. 5

    Wrap the Baguette

    Wrap the prepared baguette halves in aluminum foil to keep them moist while baking.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Bread

    Place the wrapped baguette halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is heated through and the butter is melted.

  2. 7

    Unwrap and Toast

    After baking, carefully unwrap the foil and place the baguette halves cut side up on the baking sheet. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to toast the top until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
