First of all get a baguette - I prefer this to the long french stick as it is easier to manage.

You can make two or three if you want a lot of garlic bread.

Baguette and bread knife on board

Slice the bread with a bread knife.

Do not cut all the way through - leave the bottom intact otherwise the garlic butter will seep out and you'll be left with dry garlic bread.

Sliced french stick

This loaf measures 10 inches and I made 8 slices.

Move the sliced loaf onto a piece of tinfoil.

Don't be tempted to cut the loaf on the tinfoil to save crumbs as you run the risk of cutting through - the butter will run out and your garlic bread will be dry. Don’t ask me how I know ;-)

Moving sliced bread onto aluminium foil

You will need a quantity of garlic butter - click for the recipe.

It depends how much you like, but for this size loaf, a couple of ounces or half a cup would be enough.

If you make too much, you can store it in the fridge or freeze for 6 monthsl

Garlic butter

Spread the garlic butter carefully in between each slice, making sure that you coat each bit.

I like to butter both sides, but then I love garlic bread!

Spreading garlic butter onto the sliced french stick

Push the bread back into shape with your hands.Wrap tightly in tinfoil.Put in a pre-heated oven Gas Mark 6, 400F or 200c for 10 minutes.

Wrapping garlic bread in aluminium foil for baking

If you want your crust crispy, then after 10 minutes, remove the bread and pull back the tinfoil.Bake a further 5 minutes until the garlic bread is brown and crispy.

Opening aluminium foil to allow crust to get crispy

And there you have your finished garlic bread.

Lovely, golden, garlicky, crispy on the outside and  moist in the middle.
