Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.

Step 2

In a small skillet, heat the oil and butter over low heat. When the butter is melted, add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the salt, pepper, and parsley.

Step 3

Slice the ciabatta in half horizontally. Brush or spoon the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread, covering completely. Place the halves back together again and wrap in aluminum foil.

Step 4

Place directly on the oven rack and bake until warm, about 10 minutes. Unwrap the bread and place it back in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until toasted and crisp. Cut into slices and serve.

Chef’s notes

Use a store-bought Italian ciabatta for its crisp crust and soft, porous texture, ideal for soaking up garlic butter.

To mellow the raw garlic flavor, cook the garlic butter on the stovetop before applying to the bread.
