Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place bread cut-side up on the sheet.

Place the softened butter, olive oil, garlic, and herbs in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

Spread the butter mixture evenly over bread halves.

Bake the garlic bread on middle rack of oven, rotating pan halfway through cook time, until light golden brown at the edges, 12-18 minutes.

Check to see that bread is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Cut the bread into 2- to 3-inch slices, scatter more herbs on top if you like, and serve.

Herb Infusion Technique 🌿
Finely mince fresh herbs and let them sit in the olive oil for 30 minutes before spreading to maximize flavor extraction and aromatics.
Garlic Precision 🧄
Microplane or use a fine grater for garlic to create an ultra-smooth, evenly distributed spread that prevents large garlic chunks.
Butter Layering Trick 🧈
Mix softened salted butter with herbs at room temperature to create a more homogeneous and easily spreadable mixture that integrates better with the bread.
Bread Cutting Pro Tip 🔪
Slice Italian bread at a slight diagonal to create more surface area for herb and garlic coverage, ensuring maximum flavor in every bite.
Crispy Crust Technique 🥖
Broil the garlic bread for the final 1-2 minutes to achieve a perfectly golden, crispy exterior while maintaining a soft interior.
