Ingredients

1 French stick / baguette (about 60 cm)
125 g unsalted butter, softened
2 tsp very finely minced fresh garlic (3–4 cloves, packed)
½ tsp cooking salt
2 tsp finely chopped parsley (optional)

Method

Heat oven to 200°C.
Cut the stick in half, then slice almost through at 2 cm intervals.
Mash butter, garlic, salt and parsley. Taste and adjust.
Spread garlic butter into every cut, then over the top and sides.
Wrap each half in foil. Bake 15 minutes until the crust is crisp.
Unwrap and serve hot.

Tip: Use a basic supermarket French stick, not a thick artisan crust. Fresh garlic, not jarred. Do not skimp on butter — 125 g is the point.
