  • Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum 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.
  • Place in the the pre-heated oven and bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until slightly golden brown on the edges.

Store leftovers covered, at room temperature, for 1 - 2 days. Simply re-heat in the oven by wrapping the bread in aluminum foil and warming, at 350°F, for 10 minutes.
