Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 100 g unsalted butter Softened
- 3-4 cloves garlic Minced
- 15 g parsley Finely chopped
- salt To taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated. The garlic butter is ready.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Cut the baguette or Italian bread into slices of your desired thickness.
- Spread a generous amount of the prepared garlic butter onto one side of each bread slice. Ensure the butter mixture is evenly spread.
- Arrange the buttered bread slices on a baking sheet with the buttered side facing up.
- Cover the baking sheet with a clean kitchen towel and let the bread slices proof for about 1 hour. This allows the flavors to infuse and the bread to slightly rise.
- Once the bread slices have proofed, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the bread turns golden and slightly crispy around the edges.
- Once baked, remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve the warm garlic bread slices as a delightful side dish to pasta, soups, or salads.
