Method

Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic (4 cloves), chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Slice the Bread

    Take the French bread loaf and slice it in half lengthwise. You should have two long halves of bread.

  4. 4

    Spread the Garlic Butter

    Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut side of each half of the bread.

Baking

  1. 5

    Wrap the Bread

    If desired, wrap the garlic bread halves in aluminum foil to keep it moist while baking.

  2. 6

    Bake the Bread

    Place the garlic bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Optional Toppings

  1. 7

    Add Cheese (Optional)

    If you want cheesy garlic bread, sprinkle grated Parmesan and/or mozzarella cheese over the garlic buttered bread in the last 5 minutes of baking.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Once done, remove from the oven, let it cool for a minute, slice, and serve warm.
