Gluten Free Classic Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is one of those things that feels almost impossible to replicate once you've had to give up regular wheat-based loaves — but swapping in a gluten-free baguette makes this a total reality again. The garlic butter here is pure and simple: softened unsalted butter, freshly minced garlic, flat-leaf parsley, salt, and pepper, all stirred together and spread generously to the very edges of the bread. A few minutes under a high broiler transforms it into something golden, bubbling, and deeply fragrant in a way that fills the whole kitchen. The optional Parmesan scattered on top before broiling adds a salty, nutty finish that takes it from great to genuinely hard to stop eating. Because the flavor comes entirely from whole, naturally gluten-free ingredients — butter, garlic, fresh herbs — there's nothing tricky or substituted about the taste. Just keep a close eye on it under the broiler, since the difference between perfectly golden and overdone happens fast. Slice it up and serve it immediately while the butter is still sizzling.
