- 1 lb sourdough baguette
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp dried herbs
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Prepare
- Soften 10 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, ground
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 2.
Cut the 1-pound sourdough baguette in half crosswise, then cut each half in half again lengthwise, so you have four forearm-length baguette sections. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet cut sides up.
-
Step 3.
In a small mixing bowl, use a fork to mash together 10 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, ½ cup ground Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1½ teaspoons dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, or a mix), 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until well blended.
-
Step 4.
Smear the butter mixture evenly onto the cut sides of the baguette pieces. (At this point, you can freeze the bread with buttered sides together; thaw on the counter for a few hours before baking.)
-
Step 5.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges of the bread have browned nicely. Cut each section into thirds or quarters and serve warm.
