How to Make Basic Garlic Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice a baguette diagonally into 1-inch thick slices, leaving about half an inch uncut at the bottom to hold it together.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (60ml) melted butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each slice of the baguette, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Wrap the baguette tightly in aluminum foil.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
