Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise to create two open-faced halves.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spread the garlic butter mixture generously and evenly over both halves of the bread.
Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet, buttered side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and crispy.
For an extra crispy top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
Slice into individual portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Go Go Garlic Bread!
