Yummy French Bread

Ingredients

Store bought french bread

2 Sticks of butter (I only use one, I just can't bring myself to use that much butter!)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   
2. Spread one stick of softened butter on each half of the loaf.
3. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until butter is melted and starting to soak into the bread.
4. Crank on broiler and broil bread for 3 to 5 minutes, watching the whole time. Remove when butter has started to brown and blacken. Don't under-broil it! The flavor really kicks in when the butter's color changes.
5. Slice into strips and serve immediately.
