1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare Garlic Butter
In a medium bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl. Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mixture along with salt and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
3
Slice the Bread
Cut the French baguette in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces.

4
Spread Garlic Butter
Using a spatula or knife, generously spread the garlic butter mixture on the cut side of each half of the baguette.

5
Bake the Bread
Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the butter is melted.
6
Broil for Crispiness
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil and broil the garlic bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.

7
Serve
Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice and serve warm.
