1
Soften the Butter
In a medium-sized bowl, take out 1 cup of unsalted butter and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it softens.
2
Prepare Garlic
While the butter is softening, peel 4 cloves of garlic and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Mix Ingredients
Once the butter is softened, add the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.

4
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5
Prepare the Bread
Take the loaf of French bread and slice it in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces.
6
Spread Garlic Butter
Using a butter knife or a spatula, generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the cut sides of the French bread.

7
Bake the Bread
Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
8
Cool and Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing into pieces. Serve warm.
