Garlic-Butter Bread for Soups or Barbecues
An old favourite, and let's not complicate it! No added herbs are necessary. You buy the bread, and the rest takes a few minutes. Always popular, so two loaves are better than one!

DIRECTIONS
- Heat oven to 325 deg F/160 deg Celsius.
- Slice the bread neatly into generous slices, but DO NOT SLICE THROUGH.
- Mix well together in a bowl: the butter, olive oil (use a fruity one), finely chopped and crushed garlic, and parsley.
- Add a good pinch seasoned salt, if you want to. It's not necessary and can be left out.
- Without breaking the bottom crust, spread the butter mixture on the slices.
- (Depending on size of bread you might have to use more butter-olive oil-garlic-parsley).
- Push the bread together into its original shape, and wrap it securely in foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, but long enough for the garlic butter to melt and penetrate.
- Open the foil, turn off the oven, and let the top of the bread crisp a little.
- Serve with grilled meats or with a hearty chowder-type soup. Can also be served with a salad for lunch.
