Chef's Note
"There's nothing quite like the aroma of freshly baked garlic bread wafting through your kitchen! This classic recipe delivers that perfect combination of crispy edges and a soft, buttery center infused with fragrant garlic and herbs. The secret is using room temperature butter for easy spreading and fresh parsley for that pop of color and flavor. Serve it alongside pasta, soup, or simply enjoy it on its own - it's guaranteed to disappear quickly!"
