Soy Free Garlic Bread
Golden, garlicky, and impossibly fragrant, this classic bread is the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else. The garlic butter spread is made entirely from scratch — softened unsalted butter, fresh minced garlic, flat-leaf parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper — so you know exactly what's going into every bite. That matters more than it might seem, because store-bought garlic breads and seasoned butters often sneak in soy-derived additives or emulsifiers that have no business being there. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. The two-stage bake is a smart move: the foil tent first lets the butter melt deep into the bread, then the uncovered finish crisps the edges to that perfect golden crunch. A dusting of Parmesan and a pinch of red pepper flakes are optional, but both are worth it for the extra depth and subtle heat. Slice it up and serve immediately — this one does not wait around.
