1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt until well combined.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, buttered side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
