Golden, buttery, and fragrant with real garlic and fresh parsley, this is the kind of garlic bread that makes everyone reach for a second piece before the first is even finished. The butter gets worked into a proper compound spread with minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and a little black pepper, so every bite is evenly loaded with flavor rather than just greasy on top. A foil tent during the first stretch of baking keeps the interior soft and steamy, then it comes off so the edges can go properly golden and the butter can bubble up across the surface — that's the detail that separates great garlic bread from forgettable garlic bread. An optional hit of Parmesan and red pepper flakes takes it somewhere even better if you're in the mood. Lupin flour has quietly crept into a surprising number of packaged breads and baked goods as a protein booster, which can make store-bought options genuinely tricky to navigate. Starting with a plain baguette or Italian loaf and a handful of straightforward pantry ingredients means you stay in full control of what goes into it. Slice it crosswise and serve it straight from the cutting board while it's still warm — it won't last long.
