1 French baguette
150g butter
1 rounded tsp finely chopped garlic
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Method

1. Preheat the oven to gas 7/220C/425F
2. Cut the bread, on an angle, into 1.5cm slices. Try not to cut it through the base
3. Beat the butter with the garlic, pepper and parsley until soft.
4. Spread a layer of garlic butter over each slice and over the top of the bread.
5. Wrap the loaf in foil and bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes. Unwarp the foil and continue baking for another 5 minutes until the crust is crisp.

6. Take the bread out of the oven and cut through into individual slices - this is best served straight away.
