There is nothing quite like the smell of garlic bread baking in the oven. It is one of those classic comfort foods that makes even a simple meal feel special. Everyone in my house comes running to the kitchen the second they smell that garlic butter bubbling away.

My biggest tip for this recipe is to use high quality salted butter and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. It makes a huge difference in the flavor and gives the bread that signature golden crunch we all love.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of French bread
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Slice your loaf of French bread in half lengthwise.

  3. 3

    In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and salt until smooth.

  4. 4

    Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread.

  5. 5

    Place the bread cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven, slice into pieces, and serve warm.

💡 Tips

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them in a toaster oven to get that crunch back. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little bit of heat.
