- 100 ml Unsweetened soy plant milk
- 1 clove Garlic

- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Vinegar
- 10 g Fresh parsley
- Salt, to taste

For the Rest:

- 1 Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Sweet pepper
- Olive oil, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
For the Bacon:
- 1 Cut the tofu into small cubes, resembling bacon pieces.
- 2 Place the tofu cubes in a lidded container.
- 3 Add the seasonings – soy sauce, sriracha sauce and smoked paprika. Mix well until all the tofu pieces are evenly coated.
- 4 If you have time, let marinate for a few minutes to intensify the flavours; otherwise, move straight to the next step.
- 5 Spread the tofu cubes on a baking tray, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- 6 Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°C until crisp. If needed, turn the tofu cubes during baking to ensure even browning.
- 7 When golden and crisp, remove from the oven and set aside.
For the Mayonnaise:
- 1 Add the oil and soy plant milk to a tall glass. Keep the hand blender at the bottom of the glass for the first few seconds, then move it up and down until a smooth emulsion forms.
- 2 Add the remaining ingredients to the glass and repeat the emulsifying process. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
For the Rest:
- 1 Drizzle olive oil into a frying pan and heat. Then sauté the chopped onion and garlic.
- 2 When the onion is soft, add the "the Bacon".
- 3 Add garlic powder, sweet pepper, salt and black pepper. Stir well and, if necessary, add a splash of water if the mixture looks dry. Cook for about 3 minutes.
- 4 Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the mayo and plant-based cheese, and stir until smooth.
- 5 Cut off the top of a loaf, creating a "lid", and remove all the crumb.
- 6 Place the stuffed bread on a baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 190°C for about 25 minutes. In the last 8-10 minutes, add the crumb pieces to the tray so they toast and become crisp without burning.
- 7 Serve the toasted crumb pieces as a side to the stuffed bread.
