1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread.
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a medium bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the bowl. Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

3
Slice the Baguette
Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise. This will create two long halves that can be spread with the garlic butter mixture.
4
Spread the Garlic Butter
Use a spatula or knife to generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.

5
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 has melted.
6
Optional Broil
For an extra crispy top, you can broil the garlic bread for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

7
Cool and Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Slice into individual pieces if desired, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
