-Chef's Knife
-Fork
-Small Bowl
-Cookie Sheet
-Tinfoil
-Oven with broiler
-cutting board

Software
-One Loaf of French or Sourdough Bread, unsliced
-1 stick (8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup) butter
-4 cloves of garlic
-1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
-Salt and Pepper to taste

Place the butter in the small bowl and allow it to soften at room temperature. As the butter softens, line the cookie sheet with the tinfoil, shiny-side up. Set oven to broil. Slice the loaf of bread length-wise with the serrated knife. Mince the garlic into small pieces with the Chef's Knife on the cutting board. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the butter. Mix them together with the fork until all the ingredients are well-combined. Using the butter knife, spread half of the butter mixture on each half of the loaf of bread (butter the soft side, not the crust side!). Place bread buttered-side up on the cookie sheet, then place bread in the oven under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning. Remove from oven when the bread looks toasty, golden brown and delicious, and before any burning. Cut into pieces and enjoy, perhaps with some pasta!
