This garlic bread is completely amazing. In fact, it we had to make this a dozen times to take a photo, because we kept eating it before we had time to photograph it!
Serves: 4 as a side
Time: 1 hr
Ingredients
3/4 head + 1 clove of garlic, divided
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp vegan butter (soy-free option) (we recommend Miyoko’s)
1/2 tsp salt
14 inches of baguette (gluten-free if needed), cut lengthwise like a hoagie
Pre-heat the oven to 375 F. Roast 3/4 of a head of garlic with 1 tbsp of olive oil. You can do this a number of ways and our two favorite are to use a garlic roaster or a small cast iron pan. If you are using a garlic roaster you will chop the tops off the garlic, drizzle a bit of oil into the garlic cloves, put this into the garlic roaster and roast in oven for about 45 minutes. To use a small cast iron pan, peel the garlic and place cloves in the cast iron pan with a small amount of olive oil. Roast this in the oven for about 20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Either way, the garlic should look golden brown and be very soft. With the cast iron method, it is easier to burn the garlic so make sure to check on it.
Carefully remove roasted garlic from skin (if you haven’t already done this). Mash with butter and salt. Mince the remaining clove of raw garlic and stir into roasted garlic and butter mixture. Spread on the cut sides of the baguette. Put the baguette back together and cook for about 20 min in 375 F oven on a sheet pan. The outside of the bread should get darker in color, but not blacken. Enjoy!
