1 loaf Italian bread (about 10-12 oz)
1/2 cups melted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced (or pressed if you have a garlic press)
1 Tbsp. fresh minced basil (we never use unless we have it on hand)
1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 375*. using serrated bread knife, cut into 1 inch thick slices. Place bread slices on cookie sheet. Place butter in microwave to melt. Add garlic and salt, mix well. Brush butter mixture on both sides of bread slices. Bake 13-15 minutes or until bread is crisp around the edges. Serve hot.
