Instrucciones

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to ![375°F]. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly with a fork until everything is evenly incorporated. If using, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

3. 3

   Slice the Italian or French bread loaf in half lengthwise so you have two long flat halves. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

4. 4

   Spread the garlic butter evenly across the cut surface of both bread halves, all the way to the edges so every bite is flavorful.

5. 5

   Bake at ![375°F] for 10–12 minutes, until the butter is fully melted and the bread is heated through and just starting to turn golden at the edges.

6. 6

   Switch the oven to ^[broil on HIGH]. Broiler the bread for 1–3 minutes, watching closely, until the top is golden brown and crispy. Do not walk away — it can go from golden to burnt very quickly!

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let cool for 1–2 minutes. Slice into individual portions (about 2-inch pieces) using a serrated bread knife and serve immediately.
