To make The Best Garlic Bread, follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bread: Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
3. Mix the Garlic Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the loaf.
5. Add Cheese (Optional): If you are a cheese lover, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top of the buttered bread.
6. Wrap the Bread: Wrap the prepared bread in aluminum foil for a softer texture, or leave it uncovered for a crustier finish.
7. Bake: Place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the garlic is fragrant.
8. Toast (Optional): For extra crunch, open the foil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
9. Cool and Slice: Remove the garlic bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into pieces.
10. Serve: Place the slices on a serving platter and enjoy while warm.
