Yeast Free Classic Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is one of those universally beloved sides that somehow makes every meal feel more complete, and this version delivers that perfect golden, buttery crunch without any of the usual concerns about yeast-containing additives or conditioners hiding in store-bought loaves. The key here is a simple, honest ingredient list — softened butter, fresh garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper — all stirred together and spread generously over a halved baguette before it hits the broiler. That high heat is what makes the magic happen, turning the cut surface into something gloriously crisp and bubbling in just a few minutes. A scatter of Parmesan before broiling adds a nutty, savory depth if you want to take it up a notch. Because you're building the flavor from scratch with whole, recognizable ingredients, there's no guesswork about what's actually in it. Serve it straight from the cutting board while it's still warm and crackling — it won't last long.
