Which bread is vegan?

Most store-bought bread is naturally vegan. It is rare to find a sourdough or baguette that is not naturally vegan as these breads are generally made with very basic ingredients such as flour, water, salt, and yeast. Some store-bought breads like brioche or even sliced sandwich breads can be made with milk and/or eggs so it is a good practice to read ingredients until you identify your favorite vegan-friendly brands!

What is the best bread for garlic bread?

In our opinion, you can't go wrong with a fresh loaf of sourdough, but many people swear by a loaf of Italian bread. No matter what you use, look for the softest baguette you can find. The softer, the better!

Why is my garlic bread not crispy?

If your garlic bread is not crispy, it's possible your oven was not hot enough or it could use a bit longer under the broiler. Ideally, you'll have a crispy crust but still have a warm, soft and fluffy center. If your bread is not crisped up to your liking, keep it under the broiler until you're satisfied. Just keep a close eye on it to prevent burning!

Why is my garlic bread bitter?

This is a sign of overcooked or burned garlic. If you find your garlic is browning too quickly, lightly tent the bread with a sheet of aluminum foil for the majority of the bake.

Once melted, mix in the garlic and set aside.
