Bread Base

Garlic Mixture

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise, making sure not to cut all the way through.

Garlic Butter Mixture

  1. 3

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquid.

  2. 4

    Mince the Garlic

    While the butter melts, finely mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly blended.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Spread the Mixture

    Using a brush or a spatula, generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.

  2. 7

    Wrap the Bread

    Wrap the bread halves in aluminum foil to keep them moist while baking.

Baking

  1. 8

    Bake the Bread

    Place the wrapped bread in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is heated through and the edges are slightly crispy.

  2. 9

    Unwrap and Serve

    Remove the garlic bread from the oven, carefully unwrap it, and serve warm. You may optionally sprinkle extra parsley on top before serving.
