1 tablespoon baking powder

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Slather the Bread
Place the bread halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the entire surface of the bread. If you're making cheesy garlic bread, sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown. If you want extra crunch, switch to broil for the last 1-2 minutes- just keep a close eye on it to avoid burning!
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Let the garlic bread cool slightly, then slice into thick pieces and serve warm. Perfect alongside pasta, soup, or as a standalone snack!
