01 -
115 grams salted butter, softened
02 -
4 cloves garlic, minced or roasted
03 -
50 grams Parmesan cheese, shredded
04 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 French loaf, sliced in half lengthwise

# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced or roasted garlic, shredded Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until well incorporated.
03 -
Slice the French loaf in half lengthwise. Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over each half. If desired, sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
04 -
Transfer prepared bread to the lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. For extra color, broil for an additional 2 minutes if desired.
05 -
Remove from the oven and allow bread to cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Select freshly baked bread for optimal texture and flavor.
02 -
Roasted garlic enhances sweetness and mellows pungency; avoid jarred garlic to prevent off flavors.
03 -
Monitor bread closely as it bakes; ovens vary and bread can brown quickly.
04 -
Allow bread to rest briefly before slicing so the toppings settle.
05 -
Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 3 days in airtight containers once fully cooled.
