How to Make Gluten-Free Garlic Bread

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and optional red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes to intensify the garlic flavor.

Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, and eggs until smooth. 

Step 4: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently to form a sticky dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread soft.

Step 5: Divide dough into golf-ball-sized portions for pull-apart bread or shape into a loaf. Place on the prepared tray slightly touching for pull-apart style, or spaced out for individual rolls.

Step 6: Brush the dough generously with the garlic butter, reserving a little for brushing halfway through baking. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Halfway through, brush with the remaining butter for extra flavor.

Step 7: Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve warm. Delicious as a side with pasta, soups, or salads, or as a snack.

Storage Tips

Room Temperature: Keep the garlic bread in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving for the best texture.

Refrigerator: Store up to 4 days in a sealed container. Warm in the oven or air fryer to bring back crispiness.

Freezer: Wrap pieces individually in foil or plastic, then place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.

Pro Tips

• Use a gluten-free flour blend for the best texture.
• Make sure eggs and yogurt are room temperature to help the dough mix smoothly.
• For a crispier top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
• Let the bread cool for 3–5 minutes so it holds its shape when pulling apart.
• If the dough feels too sticky, wet your hands lightly with water or oil while shaping.
