Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the loaf of bread into 1-inch thick slices, but do not cut all the way through the base. Keep the bottom of the loaf intact to create a pull-apart effect.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, finely minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and olive oil. Mix well to create a smooth and aromatic garlic butter.
Step 4
Carefully spread the garlic butter between each slice of bread, ensuring an even layer. Be gentle to avoid tearing the loaf apart.
Step 5
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese between the slices for added flavor.
Step 6
Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil, sealing it tightly to retain moisture.
Step 7
Place the wrapped loaf on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Step 8
After 10 minutes, carefully open the foil to expose the top of the bread. Return it to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 9
Serve warm straight out of the oven. Perfect for dipping in soups, mopping up sauces, or enjoying alongside grilled meats.
