Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice the baguette diagonally into 1-inch thick slices, ensuring you don’t cut all the way through to keep the loaf intact.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and olive oil until well combined.
Use a small spatula or butter knife to spread the garlic-butter mixture generously between each slice of the baguette. Be careful not to break the loaf apart.
Wrap the entire loaf loosely in aluminum foil and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the wrapped loaf in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to allow the butter to melt and infuse the bread.
Unwrap the foil carefully to expose the top of the bread and bake for an additional 2 minutes to make the crust golden and crispy.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy its irresistible crunch and flavor!
