Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French bread
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 TBSP garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 TBSP dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 TBSP salt

Instructions

  1. Remove the bread from its plastic bag and set the bag aside for later use.
  2. Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of both halves of the bread.
  5. To bake immediately, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  6. Cut the bread into large chunks and place on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
  8. To freeze, place the bread halves butter side up on a baking sheet and freeze for about 20 minutes.
  9. Remove from freezer and press the halves together with buttered sides facing inward.
  10. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap, ensuring the loaf is fully covered.
  11. Place the wrapped loaf back into its original bag, remove excess air, and seal.
  12. Freeze for up to 4 months.
  13. To bake from frozen, thaw at room temperature for about 1 hour.
  14. Cut into large chunks, place on a greased baking sheet, and bake at 325 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until golden.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for a stronger flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Wrap tightly to prevent freezer burn.
