Cut bread into 1-inch-thick slices, cutting to but not through bottom of loaves.
In a small bowl, stir together butter and all remaining ingredients. Spread butter mixture on cut side of each bread slice, being careful not to separate slices from bottom of loaves. Place bread directly on oven rack.
Bake for 10 minutes or until bread is browned and crisp. Serve warm.
Notes
Kitchen Tip: This garlic butter mixture can be used for a variety of other things, as well. Spread it on sandwiches to pep up cold cuts, toss it with hot pasta, add it to a baked potato, or put a dollop of it on a sizzling steak.
