Braai Garlic Bread

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to a medium heat or prepare your coals for the braai if you're cooking outdoors.

2. 2

   Soften the butter to room temperature and finely chop the garlic cloves and parsley.

3. 3

   In a bowl, mix the softened butter with the chopped garlic and parsley until well combined.

4. 4

   Cut the French loaf into slices, ensuring not to cut all the way through, leaving the base intact.

5. 5

   Spread the garlic butter mixture generously between the slices of the French loaf.

6. 6

   If using grated cheese, sprinkle it between the slices on top of the butter mixture.

7. 7

   Wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil, making sure it's well sealed.

8. 8

   Place the wrapped loaf on the grill or over the coals and allow to cook for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bread is crispy on the outside and the butter has melted into the slices.

9. 9

   Carefully unwrap the foil and serve the garlic bread hot, allowing guests to pull apart the pre-sliced sections.
