Ingredients
  

  • 1 large loaf Italian or French bread
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml / 1.5 fl oz) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large cloves garlic / 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz), finely minced
  • For an herby twist, mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of fresh chopped parsley or 1 teaspoon of dried oregano into the garlic oil before spreading.
  • Make it cheesy by sprinkling shredded mozzarella or a vegan parmesan alternative over the bread during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Use day-old, slightly stale bread. It's sturdier and absorbs the oil without becoming soggy, resulting in a much crispier texture.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of the olive oil with melted vegan butter.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C.
  2. Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, creating two long, open-faced pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil and the finely minced garlic.
  4. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, generously slather the garlic oil mixture evenly over both cut sides of the bread.
  5. Place the bread halves, cut-side up, on a large baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is crisp and the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven, cut each half into 4 pieces, and serve immediately while warm.
