Soak dried white beans in a bowl of water overnight.

Rinse the soaked beans to remove the legume water.

Simmer the rinsed beans in a pot with fresh water, garlic, and thyme until tender.

Slice a baguette into 8 pieces and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then toast in the oven.

In a pan, heat olive oil and add minced garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes to infuse flavor.

Combine the cooked beans with the flavored oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until semi-spreadable.

Garnish the dip with whole parsley leaves before serving.
