Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Slice the Bread

   Place the French bread or baguette on a cutting board. Using a bread knife, slice the bread into individual portions, ensuring not to cut all the way through if you want to keep the loaf together, or slice completely through for individual pieces.

2. 2.Prepare Garlic Butter

   Place 100 grams of butter (or canola-based margarine) into a small dish. Microwave it for approximately 10 seconds, just enough to soften it, not melt it completely. Add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic and a small amount of parsley flakes to the softened butter. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spoon until well combined.

3. 3.Assemble Garlic Bread

   Take each sliced piece of bread and generously spread the prepared garlic butter mixture on one side. Once buttered, place the slices back together to form the original loaf shape.

4. 4.Wrap and Bake

   Split the buttered bread into two portions. Place each portion on a piece of aluminum foil and wrap it up securely. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the foil-wrapped garlic bread directly on the oven racks and bake for approximately 15 minutes.

5. 5.Serve

   Once baked, carefully remove the garlic bread from the oven. Unwrap the foil and serve immediately. The bread should be golden with the butter mixture melted and infused throughout.
