Steps:
- Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

GARLIC BREAD
You may have once struggled with dry or greasy breads reeking of burned or raw garlic, but it's time to put that behind you. This is a versatile recipe, as readily made with thin baguettes, as it is with rustic sourdoughs and airy Italian loaves. Cutting the bread like a Hasselback potato keeps the butter from seeping out and allows the garlic to infuse the bread with its flavor without scorching. But, if it's an extra cheesy garlic bread you're looking for, slip a little mozzarella into each slit.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, Parmesan and parsley. Add the salt and generously season with pepper. Set aside while you cut the baguette.
- Cut deep slits into the baguette, 1-inch apart - don't cut all the way through the loaf - and place the baguette on a large piece of foil. Using a teaspoon or an offset spatula, generously spread the seasoned butter inside each slit. Make sure to reach the bottom of the slit; don't be shy here.
- Wrap the baguette in the foil, place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baguette from the oven and unwrap the top (leave the bread on the foil). If you're adding mozzarella, use the offset spatula or spoon to gently open each slit and tuck a piece of mozzarella in (it's O.K. if the cheese pops out from the top a little). Return bread to the oven and bake until crisp and golden on top, another 5 minutes. Slice with a serrated knife (or tear with your hands) and serve at once.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A good quality bread is essential for great garlic bread. Look for a bread that is crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Some popular choices include French bread, sourdough, and Italian bread.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much more intense flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt. If you can, use fresh garlic cloves whenever possible.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter is what makes garlic bread so rich and flavorful. Use a generous amount of butter to brush on the bread before baking.
- Season the butter: In addition to salt and pepper, you can add other seasonings to the butter to taste. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried herbs.
- Bake the garlic bread until it is golden brown: The garlic bread should be baked until the butter is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown and crusty. This will take about 10-15 minutes in a preheated oven.
- Serve the garlic bread immediately: Garlic bread is best served immediately after it is baked. This will ensure that it is hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Garlic bread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a garlic bread that is sure to please everyone at the table.
