Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of French bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts into the loaf of French bread, about 1 inch apart, but without cutting through the bottom crust.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, rosemary leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the garlic and herb butter.
  4. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic and herb butter mixture between the cuts and all over the bread, allowing it to seep into the bread.
  5. Wrap the bread loosely in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  6. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top of the bread is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
  8. Optional: You can sprinkle some additional chopped parsley on top for garnish.
