Description

Roasted garlic takes this French bread from familiar to something extra special. Its mellow, slightly sweet flavor blends with melted dairy-free butter and basil, creating a rich, savory mixture spread generously between thick slices of warm French bread. 

After a few more minutes in the oven, the garlic butter melts into each slice as the loaf develops a golden, crispy crust. Serve it straight from the oven alongside pasta, soup, or a crisp garden salad—or pull apart a slice while it’s still wonderfully warm and fragrant. 

Ingredients
  • 1 loaf of French bread (cut into 12 slices)
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter
  • 2 tablespoons roasted garlic (may substitute 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
  1. 1

    Wrap and seal the sliced French bread in foil and place it on the center rack in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through.

     

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, melt the Butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, stir in the roasted garlic and basil until combined. Remove from the heat and set aside.

     

  3. 3

    Remove the bread from the oven and carefully pull back the foil. Using a pastry brush, add about a tablespoon of the butter mixture between each slice.

    Separate each slice slightly from the next and return the bread to the oven, uncovered, for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until lightly golden.

    Serve warm.
