Garlic Bread Ingredients

- ½ cup unsalted butter softened

Instructions
- 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.
- Cover leftover bread tightly and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
You can make the garlic butter ahead and store it tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Alternatively, you can freeze the buttered bread before baking for up to 3 months.
