Servings: 10 Slices
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of French Bread see note
- 1/2 cup 1 stick salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
- 2-3 teaspoons minced fresh garlic to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and move the oven rack to the middle shelf.
- Cut the baguette in half lengthwise and set on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Mix together the softened butter, garlic, and parsley. Microwave the mixture for 15 seconds, if necessary, to make the butter easier to mix.
- Spread the butter evenly on each cut side of the French bread. It will look like a lot, but this is what you want. The butter needs to seep into the bread during baking.
- Bake the garlic bread cut side up at 425 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until golden brown on the edges and the butter is bubbling.
- Transfer the garlic bread to a cutting board and slice into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The garlic spread covers one 10-ounce baguette or half of a 16-ounce French loaf.
- This recipe uses freshly minced garlic, which is stronger than jarred garlic. Adjust the amount to suit your taste if you're using pre-minced garlic.
