Garlic Bread

Ingredients

• 453 g Italian loaf or French loaf

• 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter (can also use salted)

• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

• ? tsp sea salt

Optional

• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

OR

• ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

For garnishing

• extra parsley and chives

Method

Pre-heat oven to 2180 C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Slice bread in half lengthwise and place on a large baking sheet, cut
sides up.

In a medium bowl, mix butter, garlic, parsley and salt together until well- combined. Spread evenly over bread.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown on the edges. If you want to add cheese, add it the last 2 minutes of baking. If you like a crispier garlic bread, bake for 3-5 minutes more, watching carefully until it is as golden as you like.
