Bread

Garlic Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a medium bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Add the minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Slice the Baguette

    Using a serrated knife, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise. If desired, you can also slice it into individual pieces.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the baguette.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Garlic Bread

    Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and toasted to your liking.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then slice if not already cut. Serve warm as a delicious side or appetizer.
