The method

Step by step

1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
About 5 min
2
In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the butter is truly soft for easy mixing.
3
If using, stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
4
Slice the baguette lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, so the two halves remain connected at the bottom.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: You can also slice it into individual pieces if preferred.
5
Generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the baguette.
About 2 min
6
Place the baguette on a baking sheet, cut-side up.
7
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the garlic is fragrant.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
8
Remove from the oven, slice into individual portions if not already done, and serve warm.
