Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• French loaf of bread, baking style (uncut) : 1 large

• Salted butter, soft at room temperature : 1/2 cup

• Crushed garlic : 3 -4

• Dried parsley or chopped parsley, if desired : 1 1/2 teaspoon

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Cut French bread into 3/4-inch pieces.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic and parsley until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Spread a large amount of butter mixture on one side of the French loaf and return to the loaf form (this will ensure that there is a mixture of butter between the pieces).

Step 5

Coat the bread tightly with aluminum foil and bake on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the butter has melted and soaked in the bread.

Note

Serve immediately with your favorite Italian meal.
