Ingredients

• 1 piece French bread loaf (or baguette)
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the French bread loaf in half horizontally to create two large pieces.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 4

Spread the garlic butter mixture generously and evenly across the cut sides of both bread halves.

Step 5

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the garlic butter layer.

Step 6

Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

For an extra-crispy finish, switch the oven to broil mode for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes. Slice into individual portions and serve warm.
