Start by combining the softened butter with the chopped garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, dill weed, and parsley. Mix them thoroughly. Use a fork to ensure everything is well-blended. You want a uniform spread that carries all those delightful flavors.

Next, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). A preheated oven ensures that the bread gets that perfect crunch while the center remains soft and melty.

Take your baguette and slice it in half lengthwise. You want to create a pocket to hold in all that delicious butter mixture. Don’t cut too deeply; we’re keeping the halves relatively intact.

Now, slather that garlic butter mixture generously onto the cut sides of the baguette. Don’t skimp—to get that decadent flavor, it’s essential to cover every inch.

After you’ve buttered your bread, it’s time for the final touch. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the butter. This not only adds flavor but also gives the bread a beautiful finish.

Place your prepared baguette on a baking sheet and pop it into the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it. You want that gorgeous golden color without burning it.

When the time is up, take it out and let it cool for just a moment. Slice it into pieces, serve warm, and watch everyone fall in love with this dish.
