Bread

Garlic Butter Mixture

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the bread.

  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. Finely chop the fresh parsley and mix it into the butter mixture along with the salt and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Slice the Bread

    Using a serrated knife, slice the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise. You can also slice it into individual pieces if preferred.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Generously spread the prepared garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread, making sure to cover it evenly.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Bread

    Place the garlic buttered bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

  2. 6

    Broil for Extra Crispiness

    For an extra crispy top, switch to broil mode in the last 1-2 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. If you sliced the bread into pieces, serve immediately. If you kept it whole, slice it into serving pieces and enjoy!
