Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to achieve the perfect crispy crust.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine scallions, parsley, fresh oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  3. Carefully slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces, keeping the base intact for easy pulling apart.
  4. Generously brush the chimichurri sauce between each slice and on the outer surfaces of the bread.
  5. Wrap the baguette in aluminum foil, covering the sides and leaving the top exposed.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the crust is golden-brown and crispy.
