Ingredients
1poundItalian loaf or French loaf
1/2cupsoftened unsalted butter (can also use salted)*
4clovesgarlic, finely minced
1tablespoonfinely chopped fresh parsley
⅛teaspoonsea salt
Optional:
¼cupfreshly grated parmesan cheese
OR

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F 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.
