Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf French baguette
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into even pieces about 1 inch thick, ensuring not to cut all the way through. The base of the bread should remain attached so the slices fan out slightly.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted, remove it from heat.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and parsley.
Stir the minced garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper into the melted butter until well combined.
Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each surface and the inside of the baguette slices with the garlic butter mixture.
Wrap the prepared baguette in aluminum foil, sealing it completely to ensure steam doesn't escape during baking.
Place the wrapped baguette on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to warm.
After this time, open the foil carefully and leave the top exposed.
Bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the top to become crisp and golden brown.
Remove the baguette from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving.
Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or appetizer, and enjoy the buttery, garlicky goodness!
