Crusty Garlic Parmesan Bread is the easiest bread to make. People love the crunch. I’ve listed the ingredients without measurements because you just sprinkle everything on top then bake in the oven until the bread is lightly browned and crisp. If you prefer a lot of garlic- pour on the garlic powder! More cheese? Go for it! Just go easy on the garlic salt. You don’t want the bread to be too salty.

Crusty Garlic Parmesan Bread

1 loaf French Bread, sliced in half lengthwise
Squeeze margarine or melted unsalted butter (I used squeeze Parkay margarine)
Garlic salt
Garlic powder
Paprika
Shredded Parmesan-Romano cheese (not the powder kind)
Fresh Italian flat leaf parsley leaves

Cut French Bread in half lengthwise. Spread a generous amount of squeeze margarine or melted butter on top of bread. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika and Parmesan-Romano cheese, to taste. Top with parsley leaves. Bake 350ºF until lightly browned and crisp. Enjoy Friends!
