Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional for extra crispiness)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, creating two long halves.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Step 5
If desired, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the buttered bread for extra crispiness.
Step 6
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, buttered side up.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are lightly golden and the butter has melted into the bread.
Step 8
Optional: To achieve a crispier texture, switch the oven to broil mode for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 9
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice into smaller pieces and serve warm.
