Our gluten free garlic bread recipe is the perfect side dish and is a great option for someone with celiac disease. It’s better than the kind you will find at Italian restaurants and you can make it from the comfort of your own home!
This gluten free garlic bread pairs perfectly with pasta dishes. It is the best garlic bread and everyone who tries it will love it. Plus, they won’t even be able to tell it’s gluten-free.
Garlic bread is the ultimate savory side dish for any meal. It can work with a lot of dishes and usually everyone loves garlic bread. I know I do.
Luckily, there are gluten-free loaves of French bread that you can use if you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. We use gluten-free bread for our gluten-free croutons and they are so yummy and perfect for salads.
Just because you have celiac disease does not mean you have to miss out on tasty breads and pastas. Our gluten-free mac n cheese is the perfect example of this. I have served this dish plenty of times and many people do not realize it’s gluten-free.

It is the same with this garlic bread recipe. I served it as a side dish with our gluten-free chicken parmesan and everyone asked how I was eating it. They were shocked when I told them it was gluten-free.
Top tip: Make a delicious drink to go with your garlic bread. Our non-alcoholic gin and tonic will really go with the atmosphere if you are having a nice dinner.
What you need
When I say this is a recipe for easy garlic bread, I mean it. You can get everything you need from the grocery store. It is such a simple recipe with simple ingredients and is absolutely delicious.
Gluten-Free French Bread
Makes sense right? Gluten-free bread can be tricky to find sometimes, but if you know where to look it is super simple.
You also can pick whatever type of bread you want. There’s gluten-free white bread, a gluten-free baguette, wheat bread, homemade bread, etc. The options are endless.
If you have any allergies, make sure to check the ingredients as some gluten-free breads use almond flour. If you want to want to try a yummy gluten-free bread recipe, check out our gluten-free sourdough bread recipe. It is so tasty and who doesn’t love fresh bread?
Butter
Kerrygold is my FAVORITE butter and I think the best for this recipe. It gives the carrots so much more flavor! Dairy-free butter also works here if you need it.
Salt
Real Salt is always my go to when it comes to salt but I also love Maldon’s flaky sea salt and it works fantastic as well!
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, garlic salt and pepper
- Slice the baguettes into 1-inch slices and keep in the form of the baguette and place on a baking sheet lined with tinfoil
- Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the butter mixture over each slice of bread
- Wrap the baguettes with tinfoil and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes
- Remove, open and sprinkle with parmesan and broil for 1-2 minutes
It depends on what type of bread you use. Texas toast is typically thicker than garlic bread. Sometimes there is cheese on top, sort of like an open grilled cheese sandwich on Texas toast.
Of course! Replace the butter with your favorite dairy-free butter and use a dairy-free cheese. It is a super easy fix.
Allow the bread to cool to room temperature then place in an airtight container. Garlic bread does best when stored at room temperature. You can leave the container on the counter and it will be good for 3-4 days.
You can always microwave garlic bread to warm it up, but I find that the best way to reheat it is to wrap in aluminum foil and heat it in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. That way, it still has the crunch that makes garlic bread so good.

Bless you. I’ve missed garlic bread ever since I cut out gluten and could not find a great gluten free version of it. But this recipe?! Perfect.
