Ingredients
- 1 baguette or French loaf 2 feet long (24 inches or 60 cm)
- ½ cup vegan butter softened
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Cut the loaf in half, then slice it almost all the way through into thick slices.
- In a bowl, combine the vegan butter, garlic, parsley, and salt until the mixture is fluffy.
- Spread the butter mixture inside the cuts on both sides of the bread and spread any remaining butter on top of the loaves.
- Wrap each loaf in foil and bake for 15 minutes or until golden and toasted.
Notes
- Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic provides the best flavor compared to pre-minced or powdered garlic. It gives the bread a robust and aromatic taste.
- Soften the Vegan Butter: Ensure the vegan butter is fully softened before mixing with other ingredients. This helps it combine smoothly and spread easily on the bread.
- Don’t Cut All the Way Through: When slicing the loaf, cut almost all the way through but not completely. This keeps the loaf intact and makes it easier to handle and serve.
- Wrap Tightly in Foil: Wrap the bread tightly in aluminum foil before baking. This traps the steam and ensures the bread becomes soft and the flavors meld together perfectly.
- Add a Final Toast: For an extra crispy top, open the foil in the last few minutes of baking to allow the bread to toast. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
