Make it don't buy it: garlic bread

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas 4.

2. 2

   Mash the crushed garlic and the softened butter together in a bowl with the back of a spoon, before stirring the finely chopped flat-leaf parsley into the mixture.

3. 3

   Add a little sea salt to season.

4. 4

   Using a bread knife, cut the baguette in half (you can prepare both halves of the baguette if you are serving lots of people, or save the other half).

5. 5

   Cut slits 4cm apart along the baguette, cutting three quarters of the way down but without slicing all the way through, so your baguette remains intact.

6. 6

   Use a teaspoon to fill the slits with the butter mixture.

7. 7

   Wrap loosely in foil and place on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.

8. 8

   Open the top of the foil and cook for a further five minutes until the bread is golden and the butter has sunk into the crumb.
