Mustard Free Garlic Bread
Warm, golden, and fragrant with real garlic and fresh parsley, this is the kind of bread that disappears from the table before anything else does. The ingredient list is refreshingly short and completely straightforward — softened butter, minced garlic, a little parsley, salt, and pepper, with optional Parmesan and red pepper flakes if you want a little extra kick. For anyone navigating a mustard sensitivity, garlic bread can actually be a sneaky offender when store-bought versions or restaurant preparations sneak in mustard powder as a flavor booster — here, there's simply none of that to worry about. Every ingredient is visible and accounted for, so you know exactly what's going on that loaf. The two-stage baking method — foil tent first, then uncovered — gives you that perfect contrast of a soft, buttery interior and lightly crisped, golden edges. Slice it up and serve it straight from the cutting board while the butter is still bubbling.
