Heat the oven to 200C.
Crush or finely grate the garlic and mash it into the softened butter with the parsley, oregano and salt.
Cut the baguette into 2 cm slices, stopping just short of the bottom crust so the loaf holds together.
Spread the garlic butter between the slices and thinly over the top.
Wrap the loaf in foil and bake for 10 minutes.
Open the foil and bake for 5 minutes more, until the top is golden and crisp.
Pull the slices apart and serve hot.
