½ tsp kosher salt or sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Step 2
Then gradually add, flour, salt, oat milk, and vegan butter. knead for 12-15 min.
Step 3

Step 4
For the Garlic Butter
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2
Slice the top off the garlic and place it on a piece of aluminum foil.
Step 3
Pour olive oil over the garlic bulbs.
Step 4
Wrap it tightly. It should look like a small pouch. Place it on a baking sheet and roast it in the oven for 40 minutes.
Step 5
To check doneness, carefully remove the aluminum foil (be careful as it is hot and steamy) and see if the garlic cloves are softened and lightly caramelized. If they are, you are good to go. If not, wrap it back up and let it roast for 5-10 more minutes or until the cloves are fully softened.
Step 6
Let the roasted garlic cool for 10-15 minutes. Gently squeeze the head from the root end, pushing out all the soft cloves until you are left with the outer skin. Discard the skin and transfer the roasted garlic into a medium bowl.
Step 7
Using the back of a fork, mash garlic until it is fully pureed.
Step 8
Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or your hands to flatten, spread the butter on top, sprinkle cheese and
Step 9
Cut the dough into 12 squares. Repeat with remaining dough, butter, and cheeses.
Step 10
Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position then preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Step 11
Bake until golden brown, about 50 minutes. If you find the top of the loaf is browning too quickly, tent with aluminum foil. (Don’t be alarmed if there’s melted butter around the sides of the bread as it bakes, it will seep into the bread before it finishes.) Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. If desired, brush with melted butter for topping and sprinkle with sea salt.
Step 12
Lightly coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.
Step 13
Stack the dough squares on top of each other and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
