  • ½ cup salted butter, softened**
  • 2 ½ Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 large garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Carefully cut the bread in half lengthwise to create two halves.

Notes

  1. Look for the freshly baked French or Italian bread in the bakery section.
  2. If you are using unsalted butter, then add ¼ teaspoon of salt to your butter mixture.
