Ingredients
  

1 small baguette (or a similar crusty bread)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional for cheesy garlic bread)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

      Slice the Baguette: Using a serrated knife, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick pieces. You can cut them all the way through or leave them partially attached at the bottom for a pull-apart style.

        Spread the Garlic Butter: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture on each slice, ensuring to get the butter into the crevices for maximum flavor.

          Add Cheese (Optional): If you are making cheesy garlic bread, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the buttered slices.

            Bake: Place the prepared baguette segments on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the edges are crispy.

              Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, you can sprinkle an extra pinch of fresh parsley on top for garnish. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
