Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 loaf 1 pound French bread, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic. Brush over cut sides of bread; sprinkle with parsley. Place, cut side up, on a baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 8 minutes. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve.

Notes

Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic gives a stronger, more authentic flavor than garlic powder.
Don’t skip the broil: That final step creates the perfectly crisp, golden top.
Choose the right bread: French bread works best, but Italian or sourdough are great options too.
Spread evenly: Make sure the garlic butter is evenly distributed so every bite is flavorful.
