Gluten Free Garlic Bread

This is the garlic bread I make every single pasta night. The compound butter has fresh minced garlic and garlic powder in it, which is the trick to getting actual garlic flavor in every bite instead of just a few chunks here and there. Spread it on Schar gluten-free baguettes, top with parmesan, and bake until golden. Five minutes of prep and about twelve minutes in the oven.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, 3 cloves (9 g) garlic, 1 tablespoon (4 g) chopped fresh parsley, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt.

Notes

  • Baguettes: I use Schar gluten-free baguettes (two per package, 6 oz each, 12 oz total). Any gluten-free French bread works. If using a single larger loaf, you'll have one baguette instead of two.
  • Garlic: Mince as finely as possible. Large pieces can burn at 425°F.
  • Make ahead: Spread the butter and cheese on the baguettes, flash freeze on a baking sheet, then wrap tightly and freeze up to 1 month. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes.
  • Dairy-free: Use vegan butter and either dairy-free parmesan (like Follow Your Heart) or skip the cheese entirely.
  • Reheat: Oven at 350°F for a few minutes or air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes. Avoid the microwave.
