Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise to create two open-face halves.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30 seconds in the microwave).
Stir the minced garlic into the melted butter until evenly combined.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread halves.
Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet, garlic butter side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and crispy.
Optional: For extra crispiness, turn the broiler on high for the final 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into smaller pieces.
Serve warm and enjoy!
