Basic Garlic Bread

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.

2. 2

   Cut the French bread. It can be cut in half lengthwise, cut into quarters, or cut into thick slices, however you prefer.

3. 3

   Soften the butter by letting it sit out before using it or by putting it in the microwave for just a few seconds. Spread the butter over the bread with a spatula.

4. 4

   Then sprinkle the garlic powder over the butter. Using the spatula, spread the garlic powder evenly over the bread.

5. 5

   Next, sprinkle the paprika over the butter and garlic and spread it evenly over the bread. Add the parsley flakes and spread evenly over the top of the bread.

6. 6

   Top with the grated parmesan cheese and lightly spread it over the top of the bread.

7. 7

   Wrap the garlic bread in foil and set on a cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes then open the foil up so garlic bread will toast. Continue baking in the oven for another 5 to 8 minutes until the bread is hot all the way through and the top is slightly toasted.

8. 8

   Serve hot right out of the oven.
