Preparation

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the garlic loaf.

Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well blended.

Slice the Bread
Carefully slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise, ensuring not to cut all the way through. You want the loaf to remain connected at the bottom.

Wrap the Bread
Wrap the prepared garlic loaf in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet. This will help keep the bread moist while baking.

Bake the Bread
Place the wrapped loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the bread is heated through and the flavors have melded together.

Unwrap and Toast
After baking, carefully unwrap the foil and return the loaf to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to toast the top, giving it a nice crispy finish.

Serve
Remove the garlic loaf from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing into individual pieces. Serve warm as a delicious side or appetizer.
