Preparation

Step 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.

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4
