Soy Free Classic Garlic Bread
Garlic bread sounds simple, but getting it exactly right — that golden, bubbling surface with soft, garlicky butter soaked into every bite — is genuinely satisfying. This version uses a handful of real, whole ingredients: a crusty baguette, softened unsalted butter, fresh garlic, and parsley, with optional Parmesan if you want a little extra savory depth. For anyone avoiding soy, store-bought garlic breads and seasoned butters can be surprisingly tricky, since many contain soy-derived oils or additives tucked into the ingredient list. Here, you make the garlic butter yourself from scratch, so you know exactly what's going in. The broiler does the heavy lifting, turning the cut surface golden and bubbling in just a few minutes — no guesswork, just keep a close eye on it. Sliced fresh off the cutting board and served immediately, it's the kind of side dish that disappears before anything else on the table.
