Ina Garten’s garlic bread is made by splitting a fresh French baguette or Italian loaf and generously spreading it with a garlic-parsley butter mixture. It’s then baked until the butter melts into the bread and the edges turn perfectly golden. Ina keeps it classic—no cheese or extra toppings—just pure, flavorful garlic bread with a crispy edge and a soft, buttery center.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large French baguette or Italian bread loaf

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

Preheat the oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Make the garlic butter

In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, salt, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir until well combined and smooth.

Prepare the bread

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. If it’s very long, you can cut it into two shorter sections for easier handling.

Spread the butter

Using a spatula or butter knife, spread the garlic butter mixture evenly across the cut sides of the bread. Be generous for full flavor.

Bake the garlic bread

Place the bread halves, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the butter is melted and the edges start to crisp.

Broil for extra crunch (optional)

For a golden, slightly toasted top, switch the oven to broil and broil for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Slice and serve  

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice into individual pieces and serve warm.
