Hazelnut Free Garlic Bread
Warm, buttery, and fragrant with real garlic, this classic garlic bread is the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else does. The spread comes together with softened butter, freshly minced garlic, chopped flat-leaf parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper — simple, honest ingredients with nothing hidden in the mix. A light tent of foil during the first part of baking keeps the interior soft and steamy, while the final few uncovered minutes coax the edges into that irresistible golden crunch. Optional Parmesan and a scatter of red pepper flakes take it from classic to genuinely craveable. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, store-bought garlic breads and seasoned spreads can be surprisingly risky due to shared production lines and flavored butter blends that sometimes sneak in nut-derived ingredients — making a homemade version like this one a much safer and honestly more delicious call. Slice it crosswise into generous pieces and serve it straight from the cutting board while the butter is still bubbling.
