Adjust the amount of garlic in this garlic bread to suit your palate – but I think garlic bread should do what it says on the box.

Ingredients

  • 2 baguettes, each about 30cm long

  • 100g butter, softened

  • ¼ cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

  • 8 cloves garlic, grated with a rasp grater (Microplane)

  • ¼ cup finely shredded parsley 

  • ½ cup finely grated parmesan

Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 200C (220C conventional). With a bread knife, cut slits into the baguette at 2cm-3cm intervals, but leave the pieces attached. Combine the butter and olive oil with the garlic and parsley, then season very well with salt and black pepper. 

  2. Step 2

    Place the baguettes on baking paper and spread liberally with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to get most of the butter into the slits. Spread any leftover butter on top, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and scatter with the parmesan. Fold the baking paper up to mostly enclose the bread, twisting the ends to form a package but still leaving space to allow steam to escape and the top of the bread to brown. Bake for 20 minutes until the bread and paper are browned, then serve.
