Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 baguette (28cm long, weighing approx. 150g)

For the garlic butter:

  • 100 g (3.5 oz) salted butter slightly soft
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tbsp flat leaf parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix all the garlic butter ingredients together in a bowl. Wrap in cling film or baking paper, roll into a log and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes, until firm.
  • Slice the baguette into about 12 slices but not all the way through, leaving the base intact to hold it together.
  • Once the butter is firm, unwrap it and cut 12 x 0.5cm slices. Press a slice of butter into each of the cuts. Be careful as the bread will bend slightly into a semi-circle shape once you’ve put over half the butter slices in – press it carefully at each end to straighten it.
  • If you have any butter leftover, wrap it back up and put it in the freezer. When you want to use it again, place it into the fridge to thaw a bit, but still remain firm for slicing.
  • Wrap the baguette in foil, place on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. Unwrap the foil and cook for a further 5 minutes to crisp it up.

Notes

  • Vegan option – use vegan butter or olive oil. 
  • Herb variations – try fresh chives or rosemary instead of parsley for a fresh twist. 
  • Add cheese – top the baguette with grated mozzarella, parmesan or cheddar for extra indulgence. 
  • Spicy twist – try adding a pinch of chilli flakes or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. 
  • This quick and easy garlic baguette recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for more people.
