1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread.
2
Prepare Bread
Slice the Italian loaf in half lengthwise. Place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

3
Melt Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid.
4
Mix Ingredients
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

5
Spread Garlic Butter
Using a brush or a spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
6
Add Toppings
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the garlic butter.

7
Bake Bread
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly, if used.
8
Cool and Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
