Ingredients:

2 baguettes (french bread)
170g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
1 tbsp dried oregano
16g
1 tsp paprika
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Garlic Butter:
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Cut the Baguettes:
- Slice each baguette in half lengthwise. If desired, you can also cut the baguette into smaller serving size pieces, ensuring there are two halves per piece.
4. Spread the Garlic Butter:
- Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette halves.
5. Wrap and Bake:
- Wrap each baguette half in aluminum foil. This helps to keep the bread soft while allowing the garlic butter to melt evenly.
- Place the wrapped baguettes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is warmed through and the butter has melted.
6. Optional: Broil for Crispiness:
- For a slightly crispy top, carefully unwrap the baguettes and place them back in the oven under the broil setting for an additional 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
7. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool for a minute or two. Slice into serving pieces if not already cut and serve warm.

Tips:

- Use fresh parsley and garlic for the best flavor.

- Soften the butter to room temperature to make mixing easier.

- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add an extra clove of garlic.

- Wrap the bread in aluminum foil before baking to keep it moist.

- For an extra crispy crust, open the foil during the last few minutes of baking.

- Serve immediately for the best taste, as the bread can lose its crispiness if left out for too long.

This Garlic and herb bread is an easy yet flavorful addition to any meal. With fresh herbs and a touch of spice, this bread will become a favorite in your culinary repertoire. Serve it hot from the oven and watch everyone reach for seconds!
