Preheat your oven to 350 degrees now. Let the oven get nice and hot. This ensures the bread bakes very evenly.

Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Use a long and sharp serrated knife. Try to make the halves even in size.

Place the butter in your small mixing bowl. The butter should be at room temperature. This makes mixing much easier for you.

Mince the garlic cloves into very tiny pieces. Use a sharp knife or a garlic press. Add the garlic to the softened butter.

Chop the fresh parsley into very small bits. Add the parsley to the butter and garlic. This adds great color to the mixture.

Add the salt and pepper to the bowl. Stir everything together until it is very smooth. Make sure the herbs are spread out.

Spread the butter on both halves of bread. Use your pastry brush or a small spoon. Cover every single inch of the white bread.

Place the two halves back together again. Wrap the whole loaf in aluminum foil tightly. This keeps the steam inside the bread.

Put the loaf on your big baking sheet. Place it in the center of the oven. Bake it for about ten minutes total.

Carefully open the top of the foil wrap. Be careful of the hot steam coming out. Bake for five more minutes until golden.
