Ingredients

• 1 whole French or Italian bread loaf
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 100 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Cut the French or Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two long halves.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix to form a smooth garlic butter.

Step 4

Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of both bread halves, making sure to cover all edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered bread halves.

Step 6

Place the bread halves on the prepared baking sheet, buttered sides facing up.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Step 9

Slice into smaller pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your Parmesan Bread Deluxe as a side dish, appetizer, or standalone snack!
