Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread.
Take your 2 baguettes and slice them in half lengthwise to create four pieces. Place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a medium bowl, add 1/2 cup of softened butter. Make sure the butter is soft enough to mix easily but not melted.
4. Add Garlic:
Peel and mince the 2 garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl with the softened butter.
Finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon of chives. Add these chopped herbs to the butter and garlic mixture.
Using a fork or spoon, thoroughly mix the butter, garlic, parsley, and chives until evenly combined and the mixture is smooth.
Use a butter knife or spatula to evenly spread the garlic butter mixture onto each half of the baguettes. Make sure the butter mixture covers the entire cut surface of each piece of bread.
Place the prepared baguettes in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden brown and the butter is melted and bubbly.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Cut each half into smaller slices for easier serving if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- For an extra crispy texture, toast the bread slices for a few minutes in the oven before spreading the garlic butter mixture.
- Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme to add a unique twist to your garlic bread.
- Use a high-quality butter for the best flavor, preferably unsalted so you can control the saltiness of the final product.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add another clove or two of garlic to the mixture, or use roasted garlic for a milder, sweeter taste.
- To make the bread extra cheesy, sprinkle grated Parmesan or Mozzarella over the top before baking.
This simple yet flavorful garlic bread recipe will surely become a staple in your household. The rich blend of butter, garlic, and fresh herbs creates an irresistible aroma and taste that your family and friends will love. Enjoy your homemade garlic bread alongside your favorite dishes!
