Should I use fresh or jarred garlic for vegan garlic bread?
Freshly minced garlic will always be best for this recipe. There is a noticeable taste difference between the two.

Make the recipe as directed. Let the loaf cool, and place in a freezer container or bag. When ready to eat, warm in the oven at 350 just until warmed throughout (about 5 minutes). Best to consume within 3 months of placing in freezer.

So good. I made a half recipe but only used it on a shorter section of bread and covered both sides of the halved French bread. Used the quick cashew Parmesan recipe from Minimalist Baker. The only garlic bread recipe I’ve tried and have no desire to try another as this is a winner. Thanks!
We’re so excited that you loved the recipe! Thanks for taking time to leave a comment, we appreciate that so much!
