1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is important for achieving a crispy crust.
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a medium bowl, soften the butter at room temperature. Add minced garlic (4 cloves) and mix until well combined. Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mixture along with salt and black pepper. Mix everything together until you achieve a smooth garlic butter spread.
3
Slice the Baguette
Take the French baguette and slice it in half lengthwise. You can also slice it into smaller pieces if you prefer individual servings.

4
Spread the Garlic Butter
Using a butter knife or spatula, generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the baguette.
5
Add Optional Toppings
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes on top of the garlic butter for added flavor.

6
Bake the Garlic Bread
Place the prepared baguette 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 is bubbling.
7
Cool and Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into smaller pieces if not already pre-sliced, and serve warm.
