Homemade Garlic Bread: A Delicious and Easy Recipe

Here's a simple recipe for classic homemade garlic bread:

Ingredients:

* 1 baguette, sliced in half lengthwise

* 1/4 cup butter, softened

* 4 cloves garlic, minced

* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

* 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

* Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese (if using), oregano (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

3. Spread the garlic butter: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of the baguette.

4. Bake: Place the baguette on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the butter is melted.

5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips:

* For extra flavor: You can add other herbs like parsley, rosemary, or thyme to the garlic butter mixture.

* For a cheesy twist: Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over the garlic butter before baking.

* For extra crispiness: You can toast the baguette slices in a pan before spreading with the garlic butter.

* For a heartier option: Use a crusty loaf of bread instead of a baguette.
