Ingredients
  

Garlic Bread
  • 1 large baguette
  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • small bowl
  • knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and slice the baguette lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper, mixing until well blended.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette, ensuring even coverage.
  2. Place the baguette on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the butter is bubbling.
Serving
  1. Remove the garlic bread from the oven, slice it into individual portions, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can broil the garlic bread for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before baking for a cheesy twist.
