Garlic Bread Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread.

2. 2

   Prepare the Garlic Butter

   In a medium bowl, soften the unsalted butter by leaving it at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Once softened, add minced garlic, finely chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined into a smooth garlic butter.

3. 3

   Slice the Baguette

   Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise to create two long halves. You can also slice it into smaller pieces if preferred.

4. 4

   Spread the Garlic Butter

   Generously spread the prepared garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette, ensuring even coverage.

5. 5

   Bake the Bread

   Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the butter is melted.

6. 6

   Serve

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