Dragon's Breath Savory Garlic Bread

Dragon's Breath Savory Garlic Bread 


Ok, this one is going to have you shouting--with SERIOUS flaming garlic breath--"who needs cheese?" This garlic bread is so loaded with delicious complementary flavors that you will never even notice the absence of cheese. You can play with the amount of garlic, depending on your tastes, but if you can handle a lot of it, more is better, in my personal opinion! Of course, I would put garlic on everything short of chocolate...and when I think of a way to do that, I'll let you know!

What you'll need:

  • 1 large loaf of freshly baked bread (My favorite is a large seed or grain bread, but others prefer french bread, either plain or whole wheat)
  • 1 cup vegan margarine
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 12-16 cloves minced garlic
  • garlic salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • onion salt (optional)
What to do:

Preheat the broiler to its highest setting. In a small saucepan (or a microwave if you absolutely must), melt the margarine over low heat. While it's melting, slice the bread into desired serving sizes and arrange them on a cookie sheet covered with foil. Once margarine has melted, remove from heat and immediately add minced garlic and parsley. Mix well. Using a silicone or barbecue brush, paint each of the bread slices with a nice, thick layer of the margarine mixture. Gently sprinkle each slice with garlic salt, pepper, and onion salt if you wish. Place the bread on the highest oven rack, and broil for 2-4 minutes, checking frequently (ovens are all different, as are broiler heat levels, so it's important to keep a very close eye on your bread so it doesn't burn!). Enjoy!
