1. To make the Garlic Herb Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, granulated garlic, granulated onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
2. Cut the bread: Slice the French baguette or Italian loaf in half lengthwise. If desired, cut into smaller serving portions to make it easier to serve after baking.
3. Prepare the garlic herb butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the olive oil and freshly minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
4. Add seasoning to butter: Stir in 2 teaspoons of the prepared Garlic Herb Seasoning to the butter and garlic mixture. Remove from heat.
5. Spread the butter mixture: Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the garlic herb butter over the cut sides of the bread.
6. Optional: Sprinkle additional dried herbs or grated Parmesan on top of the buttered bread for extra flavor.
7. Bake the bread: Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Place the bread on a baking sheet, cut-side up. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
8. Optional broiling step: For a crispy top, broil the bread on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
9. Slice and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Slice into individual pieces and serve warm!
