Ciabatta Demi-Baguette

I originally bought this demi baguette to serve with my artichoke dip, but then I decided my family wouldn't appreciate the nice bread as much as I would, and just brought them crackers to eat it with instead. I'm really glad I saved this for myself, because I used half for an incredible Greek-inspired tofu sandwich! I first marinated the thin patties of tofu in a mix of lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano and rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. I baked those for about 12 minutes at 400°F on each side. I also toasted the ciabatta. From top to bottom, the sandwich is Cedar's Foods garlic hummus, San Marzano tomatoes, spinach, marinated baked tofu, Kosterina herbed kalamata olives, and my homemade artichoke dip. This ciabatta bread held the sandwich together really well!

I bought these ciabattas from Trader Joe’s. They are a good deal at only $2.79 each. They are very yummy, the bread is soft and has a crisp outer crust when you bake it. I cut them in half and spread vegan butter, olive oil, minced, garlic, and chopped parsley on them. I put them on a pan in the freezer for 30 minutes to let the topping harden. You can put them in freezer bags and they last for up to two months in the freezer. #vegangarlicbread #vegantraderjoes

Yum! This bread takes just 5 minutes to crisp up in the oven. It stayed soft on the inside. Was delicious with some #veganbutter. 🥖 #carbsforlife #veganisnotscary

I like this bread from TJ’s, especially warmed up.

Nice size to slice up and make garlic bread to go with some home made soup. I use Trader Joe’s garlic spread too.
