Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Slice loaf of bread in half and place the pieces, cut side up, on the prepared pan.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the garlic and remove from the heat. Allow the garlic to steep in the butter for about 3 minutes. Add the salt and parsley and stir to combine. Use a spoon or pastry brush to coat the cut sides of the bread with the garlic butter.

Step 4

Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. For extra crispiness, place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching very carefully. Slice and serve warm.
