Pecan 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 the main course even lands. The garlic butter spread comes together with just softened butter, fresh minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper — simple pantry staples with no hidden surprises. A quick tent of foil during the first part of baking keeps the bread moist and lets the butter soak deep into the loaf, while the final few uncovered minutes deliver those irresistible golden, bubbling edges. The optional Parmesan adds a salty, nutty depth that takes the whole thing to another level without complicating the process. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, so there's no need to stress over labels or cross-contact from shared processing facilities. Slice it up and serve it immediately — this one is best enjoyed hot, right off the cutting board.
