Ingredients

• Soft baguette or French bread loaf
• 1 stick (¼ lb or a bit over 100 g) butter
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled

Procedure

1. Place oven rack to middle setting, and preheat to 350°F (175°C).
2. Using a bread knife, cut baguette in half lengthwise, then cut diagonal slits towards the bottom but not all the way through.
3. With a garlic crusher or chef's knife, mince the peeled garlic cloves.
4. In a medium bowl, soften butter in a microwave. The time will depend on the microwave.
5. With a fork, mash minced garlic into softened butter, and mix until even.
6. With a butter knife, spread butter mix onto both halves of bread and in the diagonal slits.
7. Wrap each half with foil, and place in oven on middle rack. Bake for 15–20 minutes.
8. Remove bread from oven, remove foil, and serve warm.
