Here’s what you need to make our easy gluten-free garlic bread recipe…
Our Gluten-Free Garlic Bread Recipe, At A Glance:

Here’s What You need To Make This Easy Garlic Bread:
- Gluten-Free Baguettes. We recommend Udi’s gluten-free baguettes if you can find them. Schar gluten-free baguettes are our second favorite choice. (Check the freezer section as many brands are sold frozen!)
- Softened Butter. You want the butter softer than what you’d use for baking cookies. It should easily mix well. (You can try this with vegan butter/dairy-free butter, though I find the flavor comes through a bit more.)
- Fresh Parsley. You can absolutely use less than I do, or use a bit of dried parsley instead. It’s all good!
- Parmesan Cheese (If You Want). Using a bit of Parmesan cheese adds a bit of umami and adds a little extra something. I love adding it, but it’s not strictly necessary.
- Garlic Cloves & Garlic Powder. I usually use a mix of minced garlic & garlic powder, but you can definitely use all of one or the other (check out the recipe notes for directions).
- Flaky Salt. I love using flaky salt here because it adds a satisfying crunch and looks GORGEOUS. If you use kosher salt, use less. If you use table salt, use even less.
- Maybe Some Extras. Then, to finish, you can garnish with more parsley, some fresh basil, black pepper or (my favorite) some red pepper flakes.
What Brands of BAguettes Are Gluten-Free?
There are more brands of gluten-free baguettes available than ever before at the grocery store, but not all of them are equal. Here are a few brands to choose from + our experience with each:
- Udi’s Gluten-Free French Baguettes. These are soft and make great sandwiches, French bread pizza, or garlic bread. They’re our go-to most of the time.
- Schar Gluten-Free Baguette – More dense for sure, but they have soft sourdough notes that can be lovely. Probably our second choice!
- Against The Grain Baguettes. These are…not the best for us. We find the texture very chewy and hard and they don’t really ever soften or get gorgeously toasty.
- Mariposa Gluten-Free Baguettes. The absolute BEST if they work for your budget. Crusty outer layer, fluffy, stretchy center… SO GOOD! This gluten-free bakery is based in California, but they ship nationwide. We place an order a few times a year and stock up on our faves. The cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, and baguettes are top-notch!
- MyBread Gluten-Free Baguettes. These have decent flavor and texture, but they are smaller and paler than most other brands. (I get them at Sprouts)
- BFree Gluten-Free Baguette. Budget friendly, and middle of the road texture. You’ll need two packages to make this garlic bread recipe.

How To MAke Gluten-Free Garlic Bread, Step By Step:
- Preheat The Oven To 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice Baguettes in half lengthwise and set on the prepared pan.
- Make The Garlic Butter. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic, garlic powder, and salt. Mix with a spatula or beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until it’s fully combined.
- Spread Butter On Bread. Use a spatula to spread the garlic butter mixture on the cut sides of the baguettes.
- Bake 10 Minutes. Pop the garlic bread in the oven and bake 10 minutes.
- Broil (If you Want). For a toastier crunch, broil 1-2 minutes longer (watch the whole time as it can quickly burn! Or, simply bake a few minutes longer at 350 degrees till you reach your desired toastiness. Sprinkle with any extra garnishes you like.
- Slice & Serve. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the garlic bread into slices or wedges & serve warm.

FAQ + Tips And Tricks For The Best Gluten-Free Garlic Bread:
Can You Freeze Garlic Bread? Yes! You can make this gluten-free garlic bread in advance. The best way is to freeze it BEFORE baking. Spread the baguettes with garlic butter, then wrap in foil and tuck into a freezer-safe bag. You can unwrap them and bake frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
The Best Way To Re-Heat Garlic Bread. Honestly, the oven! Or an air-fryer. Just pop it back in at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes, or until it warms back up.
Does Trader Joe’s Have Gluten-Free Garlic Bread? No, this is a misunderstanding. TraderJoe’s makes a product called Garlic Bread Cheese, a cheese made to taste like garlic bread. This cheese is gluten-free, but Trader Joe’s does not carry a gluten-free garlic bread.
