This fragrant, spiced bread is made the classic way: with lots of butter and plenty of garlic. This recipe works best with fresh, soft Italian or French bread, filling it to the brim with fragrant garlic butter. Top with a little grated Parmesan cheese, bake for a few minutes to crisp up the bread, and serve plain as an appetizer or with other dishes: salads, soups, vegetable and meat stews.

Ingredients:

• 165 g unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 large soft Italian or French bread
• 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
• 2 tbsp parsley leaves, finely chopped

Preparation:

Step 1
• Position the oven rack on the middle shelf and preheat the oven to 230°C.
Step 2
• In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
• Cut the bread in half lengthwise. Brush the crust generously with garlic butter. Turn the bread cut side up. Slice each half crosswise into 5cm-thick slices, without cutting all the way through, to create an accordion-style loaf.
Step 4
• Generously brush the cut sides of the bread with garlic oil, spreading the remaining garlic evenly over the top. Be sure to use all the garlic oil. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 5
• Sprinkle the bread with Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges are golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve the bread warm.
