Ingredients

• 1 large loaf French or Italian bread loaf
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 15 grams Parsley, fresh (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the loaf of bread diagonally into 1-inch thick slices, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom so the slices remain attached.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter.

Step 5

Stir the finely chopped parsley, salt, and olive oil into the butter mixture until well combined.

Step 6

Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic butter mixture between each slice of bread and over the top of the loaf.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and between the slices for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 8

Wrap the loaf tightly in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully unwrap the loaf and return it to the oven uncovered. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy!
