Homemade Garlic Bread

Steps

1. 1.

   1.

   Make Garlic Butter** Mash softened butter with garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste a tiny bit. Adjust salt.

2. 2.

   Slice The Loaf

   Cut baguette in half lengthwise. Or slice crosswise into thick pieces if you prefer pull-apart homemade garlic bread.

3. 3.

   Spread Generously

   Spread garlic butter to the edges so every bite gets flavor. Add a light sprinkle of mozzarella if you want a cheese pull.

4. 4.

   Bake Homemade Garlic Bread

   Bake at 190 °C / 375 °F for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. Broil 1 minute if you want extra color. Watch closely.

5. 5.

   Rest And Slice

   Cool 2 minutes so the butter sets slightly. Slice and serve warm. Leftover ends make good croutons the next day.
