Traditionally garlic bread is known for being slices of thick doughy loaves smothered in a rich aromatic spread of butter laced with garlic bits and flavor. This healthier alternative by lifestyle blog Vegan Richa transitions the side into a much lighter flatbread recipe. This is ideal for foodies looking to find slightly healthier alternatives to their favorite comfort foods.
Garlic bread is one of those dishes that is a standard to serve with meals such as pizza, pastas or even soups. This version transitions the bread into a flatbread made from lighter dough with a thinner shape and crunchier texture. Made from scratch, this garlic flatbread is vegan using a mixture of flours, non-dairy milks and fresh herbs to create a fresh garlic herb butter and the tantalizing bread dough.
