Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian loaf or French loaf
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter (can also use salted)*
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional:
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • OR
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • For garnishing:
  • Extra parsley and chives

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Slice bread in half lengthwise and place on a large baking sheet, cut sides up.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, mix butter, garlic, parsley and salt together until well combined. Spread evenly over bread.

  3. 3

    Bake for 10-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown on the edges. If you want to add cheese, add it the last 2 minutes of baking. If you like a crispier garlic bread, bake for 3-5 minutes more, watching carefully until it is as golden as you like.
