The Best Garlic Bread Baguette

Make garlic butter:

1. Allow the butter time to come to room temperature; it should be soft and spreadable but not melty and shiny. 2 sticks/ 250 g butter
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C.
3. Herbs: Wash and dry the herbs with paper towels, remove their stalks, and finely chop the leaves using a large chef’s knife. small bunch chives + small bunch parsley + small bunch oregano
4. Peel and grate the garlic. 6-8 garlic cloves
5. Combine butter, chopped herbs, and garlic in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste; the required amount of salt may vary based on whether your butter is salted or unsalted.

Stuff the baguettes:

1. Cut bread: Make evenly spaced, slightly diagonal cuts in the bread using the serrated knife, but don’t cut all the way through, just about two-thirds of the way through. Leave the bottom part intact to hold the baguette together.2 baguettes
2. Spread the butter generously between the slices. If you want to bake them later, wrap and refrigerate or freeze them.
3. Bake: Wrap each baguette in aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes. Gently unfold the foil to inspect if the butter mixture has melted and the bread is hot in the middle. If it's not thoroughly heated, rewrap it and give it another 5 minutes in the oven. Check once more.
4. Carefully unwrap the bread, let it cool for about 5 minutes, then serve while it’s still hot (See Note 6 for grill instructions).
