How to make the best garlic bread {video}
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
Total Time:25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of ciabatta bread or a large baguette
  • 100 grams salted butter softened to room temperature
  • a small handful of parsley finely chopped (about 2 T)
  • 3 - 4 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 50 grams Parmesan cheese Parmesan (an d a bit extra to sprinkle over the loaf)
  • a squeeze of lemon juice if desired
  • a pinch of salt optional but not necessary if you use all the Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 400°F.
  • Mix all of the above ingredients thoroughly to combine.
  • Slice the bread loaf into slices, ensuring that you don’t cut all the way through. I like fairly thick slices. Spread the butter mix generously between all the cut slices and sprinkle the extra Parmesan over the bread and wrap in foil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes and then open the foil and bake for a further 5 minutes to brown the loaf. (I left the last step out as the bread I used was already fairly brown and crispy).

Notes

This bread is best eaten on the day you make it.
