Tips and Tricks
I used romano in place of the Parmesan, and used a little less than the recipe calls for, because romano has a sharper taste. Although the original recipe calls for full-fat mayonnaise, I used light mayo with no problem. I also omitted the seasoned salt and used Herbal Salt Substitute instead. I used fresh pressed garlic, rather than jarred garlic, and I used 1-2 cloves, depending on the size. To save time, you could also use garlic powder.
Make It Healthier
Use low-fat mayonnaise and trans-fat free spread in place of the butter. If your bread loaf is smaller than called for, reduce the amount of spread you make to save calories. Omit the salt.
