Bread Ingredients
- 1 loaf crusty bread 12-ounce, sliced in half horizontally
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 4 teaspoons fresh garlic finely minced (about 3 cloves)
- ¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt or ⅛ teaspoon fine salt
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated, optional
- pinch crushed red pepper flakes optional for garnish
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Place both halves of bread, cut side up, on the lined baking sheet.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, parsley, garlic, salt, and parmesan cheese (if using) together on medium-high speed until completely combined and smooth.
- Spread the garlic butter in an even layer on top of the slices of bread.
- Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are crispy and golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until cool enough to handle, and then transfer the garlic bread to a cutting board.
- If using, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes. Using a serrated bread knife, slice the bread into pieces and serve warm.
Notes
You can make the garlic butter and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. For freezing, prepare through step 3, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months.
