Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free flour blend
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 stick Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, salt, and xanthan gum. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 3

Stir the mixture until it forms a rough dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a baguette shape and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic butter by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the parsley and salt.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, brush half of the garlic butter over the top.

Step 8

Bake the baguette for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Slice the baguette diagonally into thick slices, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom.

Step 11

Drizzle the remaining garlic butter over the slices, ensuring to get some butter and garlic between each cut.

Step 12

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 13

Return the baguette to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

Step 14

Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
