Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.
  2. Mash the butter with the garlic, salt and parsley, if using, until evenly mixed.
  3. Cut the baguette into slices about 2 cm thick, stopping just before the bottom so the loaf holds together.
  4. Spread the garlic butter between the slices and over the top.
  5. Wrap the loaf in foil and bake for 10 minutes, then open the foil and bake for 5 minutes more, until the top is crisp and golden.
