Method

  1. Step 1:

    To make the garlic butter, blend the butter in a food mixer to soften.

  2. Step 2:

    Chop the parsley finely, then add to the butter with the garlic puree, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Step 3:

    Once combined, remove from the bowl with a spatula and spoon on to the centre of a piece of cling film. Gently roll the cling film up into a sausage shape, moulding with your hands.

  4. Step 4:

    Secure each end and chill or freeze.

  5. Step 5:

    For the baguettes, mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl until full incorporated.

  6. Step 6:

    Knead the dough in a machine with a dough hook for 5 minutes or by hand for 10.

  7. Step 7:

    Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp tea towel or oiled cling film and leave to double in size.

  8. Step 8:

    Tip the dough on to an oiled surface and knock back the dough, then roll into shape.

  9. Step 9:

    Place on a baking tray and allow to double in size.

  10. Step 10:

    Preheat an oven to 220°C (200°C, gas mark 7).

  11. Step 11:

    Slash the baguette three times then bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

  12. Step 12:

    Reduce the temperature to 200°C and cook for a further 5 minutes or until golden brown. Leave the oven on.

  13. Step 13:

    Once baked allow to cool before partially slicing into 8 segments, being careful not to cut the slices completely from the baguette.

  14. Step 14:

    Slice your garlic butter into 8 thin slices and tuck each one into the cuts of your baguette.

  15. Step 15:

    Sprinkle with additional parmesan to make it extra cheesy.

  16. Step 16:

    Wrap the baguette in tin foil and leave in the oven for 15 minutes allowing the butter to melt. Serve, whilst warm.
