How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C to ensure even toasting and a crispy texture.
2. In a bowl, combine the softened butter with finely chopped garlic, fresh parsley, and salt, mixing until you achieve a smooth, aromatic paste.
3. Slice the loaf of bread into even pieces, ensuring not to cut through the base to maintain its shape.
4. Generously spread the butter mixture between the slices and on top, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
5. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until it turns golden brown, crispy, and emits a fragrant aroma.
6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
