1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice bread in half lengthwise but do not cut through; bread will open like a hinge. Make 2-inch cuts along top of bread partially slicing into bottom half. Again do not cut all the way through, and allow hinge to remain intact.
In a small bowl combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Brush liberally on each half of bread and close. Wrap securely in aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes, or until hot. Serve warm. Let people tear off partially cut pieces as desired.
