Ingredients
- 24- inch baguette or Italian bread
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons nutritional yeast
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup vegan butter room temperature
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup minced fresh parsley optional
- ¼ cup vegan mozzarella optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Using a serrated knife, cut the baguette or Italian bread every inch. Don't cut the bread all the way through – leave the bottom intact, so that the whole load is still connected.
- Optional: Place the minced garlic and salt on a clean dry cutting board, and using the side of the knife smear the garlic and salt together for 30 seconds, forming a mostly smooth paste.
- In a bowl, mix the salted garlic paste, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, olive oil, softened vegan butter, oregano, salt, black pepper, and if you are using them, the minced parsley and vegan cheese.
- Spread apart two slices of the bread. Scoop a generous spoonful of the garlic mixture and rub it around the inside of the slices with the back of the spoon.
- Once all the slices have been rubbed with the garlic oil, spoon any leftover garlic mixture on top of the bread for extra flavor.
- Now, wrap the baguette in aluminum foil. Make a tent shape with the foil so it's touching the bottom and sides of the bread but not the top. This helps to make the bread crispy without burning it. Roast for 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, take the wrapped bread out and let it cool in the foil for 5 minutes, so that it is just enough so you can handle it. Unwrap and serve in a bread basket alongside your favey pasta dinner!

Notes
- 🥖 Good Breads Grow Up To Be Great Garlic Breads:
- 🥖
- Choose a fresh, fluffy, and thin-crust baguette or Italian bread for optimal texture and taste. Thick, chewy breads can be tough to eat as garlic bread. Avoid thinner baguettes as they may dry out.
- 🔥 Oven-Savvy:
- 🔥
- Bake your garlic bread on a baking sheet to catch any drips from the foil-wrapped bread, keeping your oven clean.
- 🧈 Even Buttering:
- 🧈
- Spread the garlic butter mix uniformly to ensure each slice is flavorful and moist. Uneven spreading can lead to dry spots.
- 🔥 Warmth is Key:
- 🔥
- Serve the garlic bread warm to maintain its crispiness and melt-in-your-mouth buttery goodness. Cold garlic bread loses its appealing texture.
