Buttered Baked Broiled Bread

Here is another one adapted from The Pioneer Woman . . . crisp yet soft, flavorful, sizzling goodness. It goes with anything, kind of like jeans. And it is another example of butter making everything better. The flavor and texture of this bread hot out of the oven is unbelievable!

 

1 loaf French bread

2 cubes butter or margarine

 

Slice French bread in half, horizontally. Spread 1 cube softened butter or margarine on each half, making sure to butter edges. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until slightly golden. Remove from oven and set oven to broil. Raise oven rack in preparation for broiling. Return bread to oven and broil for 3-5 minutes. Keep a close watch and remove bread when butter is sizzling and starting to brown. Remove bread and slice into 1-inch pieces. Serve immediately.
