Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian or French bread
  • 1 stick (½ cup) butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Mix butter, garlic, parsley, Parmesan, and salt.
  3. Split bread lengthwise. Spread butter mixture generously on both halves.
  4. Place on a sheet pan, cut-side up.
  5. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and butter is bubbling.
  6. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crisp, finish under the broiler for 60 seconds. Watch it closely — broilers don’t forgive.
  • Make the compound butter in bulk and freeze it in a log. Slice off rounds whenever you need garlic bread.
