1
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a medium bowl, soften 1 cup of unsalted butter at room temperature. Mince the 4 cloves of fresh garlic and add them to the butter.
3
Chop the Parsley
Finely chop the 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and add it to the garlic butter mixture. Stir well to combine.
4
Season the Mixture
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste to the garlic butter mixture. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

5
Slice the Baguette
Take the French baguette and slice it in half lengthwise to create two long pieces.
6
Spread the Garlic Butter
Using a spatula or knife, generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette.

7
Bake the Garlic Bread
Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
8
Optional Broil
For an extra crispy top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

9
Slice and Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice into individual pieces. Serve warm.
