Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into thick slices, approximately 1 inch wide, without cutting all the way through. Leave the bottom crust intact to keep the loaf connected.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter gently.
Stir in the finely minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, and salt into the melted butter until well combined.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic butter mixture between each slice of the bread, ensuring an even coating.
For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese into each slice as well.
Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully unwrap the loaf to expose the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes to get a crispy finish.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Fabulous Garlic Bread warm with your favorite meal!
