• Pre-slice your baguette either straight or slightly diagonally, taking care not to go all the way through but about ¾ way down. Ideally, you want your bread pre-sliced but in one piece.
  1 large baguette (French stick)
• Make garlic butter by mashing all of the remaining ingredients together with a fork until nicely combined.
  100 g vegan block butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic (approx 20g), ¼ teaspoon fine salt, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 15 g fresh parsley
• Take prepared bread and spread garlic butter on both sides of each pre-cut slice.

  Start with thin layer of butter on each slice first to ensure you don't run out before you finish buttering all the slices. Once they've all been buttered, you can go back and add more as and where you see fit.

  ***Quick Tip*** When making two garlic breads out of one long baguette I like to divide garlic butter in half so that I have equal amount for each bread.
• Wrap buttered vegan garlic bread fairly loosely in aluminium foil and bake in the oven, the air fryer or freeze for later.

Oven Baking Times

• Fresh: Bake in preheated oven at 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 for 15-20 minutes, depending how crispy you like it. 

  I bake it in foil for about 12 minutes, open the foil and continue baking for another 3-5 minutes until nice and brown on top.
• Frozen: Bake it straight from frozen, no defrosting necessary. Bake in preheated oven at 200C/400F for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and butter inside is nicely melted and slices are easy to separate. 

  Feel free to open the foil towards the end of baking to allow browning on top.

Air Fryer Baking Times

• For air frying vegan garlic bread you might have to divide it into pieces that will fit your machine.

  I like to keep it in the foil to start with and then open to allow browning on top.
• Fresh: Air fry fresh vegan garlic bread at 190C/370F for about 10-12 minutes but start checking around 8-10 minutes mark and if wrapped in foil you might want to open it to allow for a bit of browning.
• Frozen: Air fry from frozen, no need to defrost. Air fry at 190C/370F for about 12-15 minutes depending on the level of crispness you like.
• ***Quick Tip*** Make sure to adjust the length of baking to your oven/air fryer and your crispness preferences. If in doubt start checking on your garlic bread from mid point until you are satisfied with its doneness to your liking as all the above temperatures and timings are based on my equipment and preferences.
