1
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is completely liquid.
2
Prepare Garlic
While the butter is melting, finely mince the garlic cloves. You can use a garlic press or a knife.
3
Mix Ingredients
Once the butter is melted, remove it from heat. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

4
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread.
5
Slice the Bread
Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. You should have two equal halves.
6
Brush with Olive Oil
Drizzle the cut sides of the bread with olive oil and sprinkle with salt for extra flavor.
7
Spread Garlic Butter
Using a spatula or a brush, generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

8
Bake the Bread
Place the prepared 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.
9
Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven, allow it to cool for a minute, then slice into smaller pieces and serve warm.
