Best Garlic Bread

I finally found a recipe and technique for garlic bread that works for me.  My son said this is the best garlic bread he ever ate.  

1 long thin baguette

1 stick (8 T.) butter, softened (do not melt)

2 T. finely chopped fresh garlic

2 T. finely chopped flat leaf parsley

1. Cut the baguette lengthwise in half.
2. Mix the softened butter, garlic and parsley.
3. Spread evenly on the baguette halves.
4. Place on a baking pan.
5. Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown, about 12 to 20 minutes.  Watch it closely.  You want the sides of the bread crusty and the middle of the bread soft but brown.
