This Perfect Parmesan Garlic Bread is crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and loaded with buttery garlic flavor and melted parmesan cheese. It tastes like artisan bakery bread but is incredibly easy to make at home.

Serve it alongside pasta, soups, salads, or as a crowd-pleasing appetizer — it disappears fast!

🧾 Ingredients

  • 1 large artisan baguette or Italian loaf
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ½ cup shredded mozzarella for extra cheesiness

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make Garlic Butter

In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble

Slice bread in half lengthwise. Spread garlic butter evenly over both halves. Sprinkle mozzarella on top if using.

Step 4: Bake

Place on baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes until butter melts and edges begin to crisp.

For extra golden top, broil 1–2 minutes (watch carefully).

Slice and serve warm.
