-
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
Salt, to taste
-
Black pepper, to taste

Cut the baguette in half lengthwise and place it cut-side up on a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic granules, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut side of the baguette halves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the garlic butter is melted.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious garlic bread!
Recipe Note
- Use a fresh baguette for best results. A baguette with a crisp crust and a soft interior will yield the best garlic bread.
- Soften the butter to room temperature before mixing with the garlic and herbs. Softened butter will spread easily and evenly on the bread.
- Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor. Minced garlic from a jar can be used, but the flavor may not be as strong.
- Adjust the salt and pepper to taste. You may also add other herbs and spices, such as dried basil or oregano, to the garlic butter mixture.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, you can brush the tops of the baguette halves with olive oil before baking.
- Bake the garlic bread in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking and toasting.
- Serve the garlic bread hot and fresh from the oven for the best texture and flavor. You can also wrap it in foil to keep it warm until ready to serve.
