Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best bread to use for gluten-free garlic bread?

Gluten-free baguettes are the best kind of bread to use for gluten-free garlic bread. I love this type. You can also use another French bread, like a sourdough loaf or ciabatta.

Can I make it dairy free and vegan?

Yes, you can make this recipe dairy free. Simply substitute the butter with vegan butter and the parmesan with nutritional yeast.

Can I air fry it instead?

Yes! Check out this air fryer garlic bread recipe. Just remember to use gluten-free baguettes.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Garlic bread is best enjoyed warm straight out of the oven. There are two cooking methods if you want to prepare it beforehand. For best results, I reccomend buttering the bread, wrapping it in aluminum foil, and storing it in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you are ready to serve it, preheat your oven and follow the exact baking instructions in the recipe card below.

You can also prepare the garlic bread as directed below, then wrap it in foil and store it in the fridge for 3 days. When you are ready to enjoy it, reheat the bread in the oven at 300°F for 5 – 10 minutes.

What’s the best temperature to bake garlic bread?

For best results, bake garlic bread at 380°F. The fresh garlic will burn on top if the temperature is too high, and the bread will not crispen if the temperature is too low.

How long do I bake garlic bread at 380°F?

Garlic bread takes about 10 to 12 minutes to bake at 380°F.

Can you freeze garlic bread?

Yes, you can freeze cooked garlic bread. Let the garlic bread come to room temperature, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. You can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just pop them back in the air fryer on defrost mode or in the oven at 300°F for 8 – 11 minutes (or until warm).

Can you reheat garlic bread?

For best results, reheat garlic bread in the oven at 300°F or air fryer at 250°F for 5 – 8 minutes until it is warm. You can also reheat it in the microwave for 60 – 120 seconds, but this will yield softer (not as crispy) garlic bread.

Is garlic bread healthy?

The term healthy is all relative, but I consider this gluten-free garlic bread to be healthy. First, it is made with gluten-free bread. Second, we use two-thirds of the amount of butter called for in traditional recipes. Third, it has half the amount of cheese called for in other recipes. Fourth, it is made with five ingredients, with no preservatives or random ingredients.

How to store and reheat:

Storing: For best results, store leftovers in airtight containers at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheating: You can reheat garlic bread in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer. Set the oven, toaster oven, and air fryer to 300ºF and reheat the bread for 5 – 10 minutes until warm.
