Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Slice the French bread into 3/4 inch slices.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic and parsley until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Spread a generous amount of the butter mixture onto one side each of the slices of French bread and place them back into the shape of the loaf (this will ensure there is some of the butter mixture between the slices).
  5. Wrap the loaf tightly in aluminum foil and bake on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the butter has melted and soaked into the bread.
  6. Serve immediately with your favourite Italian dish.
