INGREDIENTS
1 10-inch loaf Italian or French bread
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 tbsp. finely chopped garlic (or 3 tbsp garlic paste)
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the bread in 1-inch intervals with a serrated knife, without cutting all the way through to the bottom.

In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Mix vigorously for a few minutes to bring out the flavours.

Fan out the bread slices and spread 1 tablespoon of flavored butter into each opening.

Close the slices together, place the loaf directly on the oven rack. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until heated through.

Serve hot.
