Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Small mixing bowl
- Bread knife.
- Pastry brush
- Measuring spoons
- Oven mitts
Ingredients
- 1 loaf FRENCH BREAD
- 1/2 cup SALTED BUTTER
- 4 cloves FRESH GARLIC
- 2 tbsp FRESH PARSLEY
- 1/4 tsp KOSHER SALT
- 1/8 tsp BLACK PEPPER
Instructions
Step 1:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees now. Let it get nice and hot. This ensures the bread cooks evenly. A cold oven will make bread soggy.
Step 2:
- Cut your French bread loaf in half. Slice it lengthwise from end to end. You want two long, open pieces. Place them cut-side up on the pan.
Step 3:
- Put the soft butter in your bowl. Add the minced garlic and chopped parsley. Stir them together until they are smooth. Make sure the garlic is spread out.
Step 4:
- Spread the butter mixture on the bread. Use your brush or a spoon. Cover the entire white surface well. Do not leave any dry spots.
Step 5:
- Place the pan into the center rack. Bake the bread for ten minutes. Watch for the edges to turn brown. The butter should be bubbling and hot.
Step 6:
- Turn on the broiler for one minute. This makes the top very crispy. Stay close to the oven during this. It can burn very quickly under broil.
Step 7:
- Remove the bread from the oven carefully. Let it sit for two minutes first. This makes it much easier to slice. Use your bread knife for clean cuts.
Notes
Use high-quality butter for the best flavor.
Fresh garlic tastes much better than garlic powder.
Softened butter spreads much better than melted butter.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Do not over-bake or the bread gets hard.
Fresh parsley makes the bread look very pretty.
