Ingredients
- 2oz/60g salted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 10 fresh basil leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 baguette or 1 ciabatta
- Pre-heat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas mark 6
- Soften the butter
- Add the garlic to the butter and blitz with a hand blender( I found that by doing it this way it enhanced the flavour of the garlic)
- Using a fork, stir in the chopped basil
- Carefully slice across the bread (not all the way through) at 1inch/25mm spacing
- Place the bread on a sheet of aluminium foil, using a knife,spread the garlic butter between the slices then close the aluminium foil to form a parcel
- Place in the oven for 10 minutes, open the parcel for 5 minutes to make the bread nice and brown on top
