How To Make Garlic Bread

Step 1: You will need….

Step 2: Preheat the oven

Set the temperature of the oven to 175ºC (325ºF/ gas mark 3.5).

Step 3: Make the garlic butter

Spoon the butter into a small bowl. Place some of the garlic cloves into the crusher, squeeze the handle tightly down and scrape off the crushed garlic into the bowl. Continue this process until all the garlic has been crushed. Next, pour in the parsley, season with salt and pepper and stir well.

Step 4: Slice and fill

Place the baguette onto the chopping board and cut across diagonally, into 2-3 cm slices, without cutting completely through the bread. Create a gap between the slices, add a dollop of the garlic butter, and smooth it down. Finally spread any remaining butter over the top of the baguette.

Step 5: Wrap in foil

Unroll the aluminium foil and tear off a large enough piece to wrap the baguette. Place the garlic bread into the centre of the foil and wrap it up making sure that you seal the ends well.

Step 6: Bake

Place the baguette into the centre of the oven and cook for ten minutes. Turn it over, cook for a further 10 minutes and remove it from the oven.

Step 7: Serve

Once cooked, unwrap the baguette, cut through into slices and serve.
