Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Whole wheat baguette
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the whole wheat baguette in half lengthwise and place the halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, olive oil, and minced garlic over low heat. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir the fresh parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper into the melted garlic butter mixture.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the herbed garlic butter over the cut sides of the bread. Ensure the garlic and herbs are evenly distributed.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the buttered bread for added flavor.
Bake the garlic bread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.
For extra crispness, switch the oven to broil and toast the bread for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into desired portions.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole Wheat Herbed Garlic Bread!
