Garlic-Butter Bread For Soups Or Barbecues

1. 1

   Heat oven to 325 deg F/160 deg Celsius.

2. 2

   Slice the bread neatly into generous slices, but DO NOT SLICE THROUGH.

3. 3

   Mix well together in a bowl: the butter, olive oil (use a fruity one), finely chopped and crushed garlic, and parsley.

4. 4

   Add a good pinch seasoned salt, if you want to. It's not necessary and can be left out.

5. 5

   Without breaking the bottom crust, spread the butter mixture on the slices.

6. 6

   (Depending on size of bread you might have to use more butter-olive oil-garlic-parsley).

7. 7

   Push the bread together into its original shape, and wrap it securely in foil.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, but long enough for the garlic butter to melt and penetrate.

9. 9

   Open the foil, turn off the oven, and let the top of the bread crisp a little.

10. 10

    Serve with grilled meats or with a hearty chowder-type soup. Can also be served with a salad for lunch.
