Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for toasting the garlic bread.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Then, mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the softened butter.

  3. 3

    Add Seasonings

    Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the garlic butter mixture along with salt and black pepper. Mix everything until well combined.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 4

    Slice the Bread

    Take the baguette or Italian bread and slice it in half lengthwise to expose the soft interior.

  2. 5

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Spread the prepared garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

  3. 6

    Toast the Bread

    Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake them in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then cut it into smaller pieces and serve warm.
