In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil and egg to the yeast mixture, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until it's smooth and pliable. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic, oregano, and basil to the butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Brush the garlic butter evenly over the rolled out dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered dough, then add the fresh parsley.
Cut the dough into strips about 2 inches wide, stack them, and then cut the stack into smaller squares.
Arrange the dough squares in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, keeping the squares upright.
Cover the pan with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your pull-apart bread warm.
