1
Soften the Butter
Place the unsalted butter in a mixing bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until softened.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. You should have approximately 2 tablespoons of minced garlic.
3
Chop the Parsley
Wash the parsley leaves, pat them dry, and finely chop them until you have about 2 tablespoons.
4
Combine Ingredients
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the softened butter. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

5
Prepare the Bread
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French bread in half lengthwise to expose the inside of the bread.
6
Spread the Garlic Butter
Using a butter knife or spatula, generously spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves of the sliced bread.
7
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the buttered bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

8
Bake the Bread
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the butter is melted.
9
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Slice into smaller pieces if desired and serve warm.
