Peanut Free Classic Garlic Bread
Few things hit the table with as much crowd-pleasing power as a perfectly golden, garlicky loaf straight from the broiler. This version keeps it beautifully simple — softened butter, fresh garlic, a handful of chopped parsley, and an optional shower of Parmesan are all you need to pull it off. The broiler does the heavy lifting, crisping the cut surface to a bubbling, caramelized finish in just a few minutes while the inside stays soft and pillowy. Because everything here is made from scratch with whole, recognizable ingredients, there's no need to scan a store-bought label for hidden allergens or shared-facility warnings. The garlic butter comes together in a single bowl, spreads easily to the edges of the baguette, and goes under the broiler in one shot — genuinely hard to mess up. Slice it crosswise with a serrated knife and get it to the table fast, because it disappears almost immediately.
