A baguette cut into thick slices that stay attached at the bottom, soft butter with crushed garlic (plus herbs and cheese) between the slices, baked wrapped in foil and then uncovered, until the bread is golden and crisp. Vegan version: Margarine.
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2
Mix the butter and garlic into a smooth spread.

3
Slice the bread 2–3 cm thick, without cutting all the way through, so the slices stay attached at the bottom.

💡The attached bottom holds the bread together in the oven, and at the table everyone pulls off a slice with its butter.
4
Spread the butter mixture between all the slices.
5
Wrap the bread in foil and place on a baking sheet.

6
Bake 15 minutes, until the butter has melted and the bread is hot.' Open the foil and bake 5 more minutes, until the bread is golden and crisp.'

💡The foil traps the steam: the butter melts and soaks into the slices before the crust dries out, and only at the end, uncovered, does the bread turn golden.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
