Brazil Nut Free Garlic Bread
Golden, garlicky, and impossible to resist, this classic bread is the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else. Real butter gets blended with fresh minced garlic, chopped flat-leaf parsley, salt, and a crack of black pepper, then spread generously all the way to the edges of a halved baguette — no shortcuts, no skimping. A foil tent during the first stretch of baking keeps the inside soft and steamy, while the final few minutes uncovered coax those gorgeous golden edges and get the butter bubbling across the surface. An optional dusting of finely grated Parmesan adds a salty, nutty finish that takes the whole thing over the top. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nut concerns, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking into your bread basket. Slice it crosswise into thick pieces and serve it hot — this is the kind of garlic bread that makes people ask for the recipe before they've even finished their first piece.
