Ingredients

6 servings

For 6 servings

1 French stick / baguette (, ~ 60cm / 2ft long (Note 1))
125 g (1 US stick) unsalted butter, 1 US stick, softened
2 tsp fresh garlic, very finely minced; about 3–4 cloves, packed into the teaspoon
½ tsp cooking salt or kosher salt, halve the amount for table salt; use 50% more for flakes
2 tsp parsley, finely chopped; optional

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200°C / 390°F.
Step 2: Cut the French stick in half. Cut the bread almost all the way through into slices 2 cm / 4/5 inch thick.
Step 3: Mix the butter, garlic, salt and parsley together. Taste and adjust the salt and garlic to suit your preference.
Step 4: Spread garlic butter over the cut side of the bread.
Step 5: Spread the remaining butter over the top and sides of the bread.
Step 6: Wrap each piece of bread in foil.
Step 7: Bake for 15 minutes, until the crust is crispy. Check through the foil.
Step 8: Unwrap and serve.

Notes

You can use another type of bread, but a basic French stick or baguette is the classic choice. The garlic flavor softens slightly as it cooks.

About this recipe

Use a basic French stick or baguette with a soft, thin crust for garlic bread with a crisp exterior and a soft, buttery centre. Fresh garlic gives the butter its flavor.
