Bread

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Slice the Bread

    Using a serrated knife, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise. If you prefer smaller pieces, you can further slice each half into smaller segments.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Generously spread the prepared garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the bread. Ensure that the butter covers the entire surface for maximum flavor.

  2. 4

    Toast the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the garlic 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 brown and the butter has melted.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Cut into slices if not already done, and serve warm.
