Make sure the vegan butter is fully softened, not just slightly cool, before mixing in the garlic — softened butter spreads evenly all the way to the edges of the bread instead of tearing it.
Instructions:
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened vegan butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt until well combined.
- Spread: Spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle with vegan mozzarella, if using.
- Bake: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crisp at the edges.
- Slice & Serve: Slice and serve warm.
Notes: Avoid overmixing the batter once wet and dry ingredients are combined, or the texture can turn dense and tough.
Tips: Test for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center — it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for the best texture.
Storage: Store wrapped at room temperature for 2-3 days; slice and freeze for longer storage.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
