Easy Garlic Bread Loaf (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Garlic Bread

01 - 1 loaf French or Italian bread
02 - 113 g unsalted butter, room temperature
03 - 3 garlic cloves, chopped up
04 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
05 - 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
06 - 0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (totally optional)
07 - 0.25 teaspoon salt

# Instructions:

01 - After it's baked, slice it up and dig in while it's still toasty.
02 - Put the bread on a tray with the buttery sides facing up, then bake about 10 to 12 minutes till you see crisp toasted edges.
03 - If you like, sprinkle some Parmesan over the slathered bread next.
04 - Slather all that garlic mix over both bread halves—cover those cut sides well.
05 - Dump your soft butter, garlic, parsley, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Stir it up until it all blends together.
06 - Grab your bread and slice it open sideways, like a book.
07 - Crank up your oven to 190°C and let it heat up.

# Notes:

01 - Stick it under the broiler for another minute or two for extra crunch but don't walk away—burns super quick.
02 - You can switch to garlic powder if you want it a little less punchy.
03 - Wanna perk up leftovers? Warm them up in the oven or an air fryer to get the crispy bits back.
