Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or French bread
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette or French bread in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix together softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra cheesy flavor.
Place the bread on the prepared baking tray, buttered side up, and drizzle lightly with olive oil to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the butter has melted into the bread.
For extra crispiness, switch to the broil setting and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the garlic bread cool slightly. Slice into smaller pieces for easy serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Peppy Garlic Bread with your favorite pasta, soup, or as a standalone snack!
