Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt until well combined.
Slice Bread: Cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices, ensuring not to cut all the way through if you prefer a pull-apart style.
Spread Butter: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture on each slice. If using Parmesan, sprinkle it on top.
Bake: Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
Optional Broil: For extra crunch, broil the bread for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
Serve: Enjoy warm as a side to your favorite dishes, like mac and cheese.
