Golden, garlicky, and impossible to resist, this classic bread is the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else. Every ingredient here is straightforward and plant or dairy-based, making it a completely safe choice for anyone managing a red meat allergy without having to scrutinize a single label. The garlic butter comes together in minutes — softened butter, fresh minced garlic, parsley, salt, and a pinch of heat if you like — and gets spread generously all the way to the edges of the loaf so every bite is loaded. A light tent of foil keeps the interior soft while the oven does its work, then a final few minutes uncovered crisps the edges to that perfect golden finish. Optional Parmesan adds a salty, nutty depth that takes the whole thing up a notch. Slice it crosswise and serve it hot alongside pasta, soup, or honestly anything that could use a little extra magic on the side.
