Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (about 16-inch) Baguette
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
- 4 large Garlic Cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise to create two equal long pieces, and place them cut side up on a baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter, cooking gently until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
Remove the butter and garlic mixture from heat and stir in the olive oil, ground black pepper, and lemon zest.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it generously over the buttered baguette halves.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the bread is crisp.
Allow the baguette garlic bread to cool slightly, then slice into desired serving sizes.
Serve warm as an accompaniment to pasta, soup, or salad.
