Instructions
Preparation and Assembly
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set the oven rack to the middle position for even baking. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup later.
Next, carefully slice your loaf of French bread in half lengthwise. Place both halves on the prepared baking sheet with the cut sides facing up.
Infusing the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once the butter is fully melted, add the finely minced garlic and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Let the garlic steep in the warm butter for about three minutes to gently infuse the butter with flavor.
Stir in the salt and dried parsley flakes until everything is well combined.
Baking to Perfection
Now, generously spoon or brush the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread. Make sure to spread it evenly, going all the way to the edges.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until you see the edges turning a beautiful golden brown and the butter is bubbling.
For an extra crispy top, switch the oven to the broiler setting for the last 2 to 3 minutes, watching it very carefully to prevent burning.
Once it's done, slice the bread into thick pieces and serve it warm.
