Gluten-Free Garlic Bread

This gluten-free garlic bread is crispy, buttery, flavourful, easy to make, and simply the best garlic bread that you will ever eat! It takes less than 20 minutes to make and you have the option to make it ahead and freeze it.

I believe garlic bread makes a great addition to any pasta dish or soup. My favorite way to serve it is with gluten-free tomato soup. But I also love serving it with spaghetti bolognese, pasta with creamy beet sauce, sun-dried tomato pasta, creamy spinach pasta, or even lasagna.

Easy to make. This bread takes less than 20 minutes to make. And is so simple to make that even someone who doesn’t have any baking skills can make it.

Ingredients & Substitutes 

Step 1: Make Garlic Butter
Start by making the garlic butter spread or also known as compound butter. In a bowl mix softened butter, chopped parsley, and minced garlic. If you are using Italian herbs and parmesan cheese you should add them in too. Mix until well combined.

Step 2: Prep
Take your baguettes and cut them in half horizontally. Using a butter knife spread a generous amount of garlic butter on one half of the baguette. Repeat until all baguettes are buttered.

Step3: Bake
Place the baguettes on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

You can also freeze baked garlic bread. After the bread has cooled, place it in the freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Let it thaw on the counter or remove it from the plastic bag and bake in the oven at 300°F (175°C) for a few minutes or until it is warm.

How to make ahead and freeze

You can also make this bread ahead of time and freeze it until you are ready to bake it. Follow the instructions up until the point of baking. Place the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid.
Next, remove the frozen slices and place them in a freezer bag, freeze for up to 2 months.
When ready to bake, remove from the plastic bag and bake in the oven as instructed. You might need to bake them for a few extra minutes
