Lenten bread with garlic and parsley is a fragrant and light product, perfect for those observing Lent or preferring simple yet rich flavors. This bread has roots in European culinary tradition, where minimalism in ingredients meets depth of flavor. The delicate dough enriched with the natural freshness of parsley and the spicy notes of garlic creates a unique harmony. During baking, a crispy crust forms while the inside remains soft and airy. It pairs wonderfully with soups, salads, and vegetable dishes and can also serve as a base for various sandwiches. Thanks to its natural composition and absence of animal products, this bread is not only tasty but also healthy, allowing one to enjoy traditional aromas in their purest form.
