👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Mix the margarine, garlic, parsley and salt into a smooth spread.
    Bowl
  3. 3
    Slice the bread 2–3 cm thick, without cutting all the way through, so the slices stay attached at the bottom.
    Serrated knife (bread knife)Cutting board
    💡The attached bottom holds the bread together in the oven, and at the table everyone pulls off a slice with its margarine.
  4. 4
    Spread the margarine mixture between all the slices.
  5. 5
    Scatter the vegan cheese between the slices and over the bread.
  6. 6
    Wrap the bread in foil and place on a baking sheet.

  7. 7
    Bake 15 minutes, until the margarine has melted and the bread is hot.' Open the foil and bake 5 more minutes, until the bread is golden and crisp.'
    ⚙ BakingOvenBaking sheet
    💡The foil traps the steam: the margarine melts and soaks into the slices before the crust dries out, and only at the end, uncovered, does the bread turn golden.
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
