Garlic Toast!

So here's what I did. I cheated. I bought a baguette from the gluten-free brand Against the Grain, which I've had once before and scored a 6 out of 10. So I figured I'd try treating it like French bread and sliced it lengthwise into a few pieces, then used the recipe from Allrecipes for roasted garlic bread. Basically, you just roast a head of garlic and mix it with melted butter and whatever seasonings you like, parsley or parmesan or salt. To roast the garlic I took scissors and nipped the tips off each clove and drizzled with a bit of olive oil, roast for a half hour or so at 350. Then I spread the mix over the pieces of bread, toasted (not broiled like with gluten bread) in a pan, and voila! My first real garlic toast in three years!!!!!! This time the baguette scored a 10 out of 10, not sure what I did wrong last time, but it was soft in the middle and crispy-chewy on the outside. This bread behaves better cut lengthwise because it's full of holes. Slices don't work out too well.

Just thought I'd share my success, garlic toast was like the Holy Grail of gluten freeness to me, so I'm going to be in a very good mood for quite some time to come....

And I have another baguette in the freezer.... Yippee!!!! Just need more garlic...

Congrats! In a pinch, I've resorted to toasting half a gluten-free bagel (I actually like the enjoy life ones, or kinnikinnick or glutino) with some margarine and garlic! It was pretty good, but your recipe sounds better :lol:

I have tried it with the Kinnikinnick cheese tapioca rice bread and softened some butter in the microwave and mixed garlic with it and toasted it with some parmesan. It's pretty good too.

I think it might have been so good partly because of the crispy effect the baguette had. I highly recommend the Against the Grain brand. They make bagels, but they taste just like the baguettes. I'll be trying it again soon with the best gluten-free white bread I've ever had, Aleia's. There's a restaurant in Old Saybrook Ct (I live in CT) called Aleia's, which started making gluten free stuff, like bread and pizza and cookies. Their stuff got real popular and now I can get it at health food stores around the state, fresh, even. The bread is incredible. Little too sweet is my only complaint, but I'm more sensitive to sweet flavors than most. I actually got to soften some butter and have a piece of buttered bread WITHOUT TOASTING IT FIRST. That was a milestone. Also makes very good toaster oven pizza, you know, like Ellio's?

Yeah, and there's always olive oil for the dairy impaired!

Oh, you live in Ct? That's neat. Yeah, they make really awesome food, I've only been there once so far. I got the gluten-free pizza. I really liked it, but they use too much sauce, and I prefer a thick crust pizza. Next time I'm getting the gluten-free fried fish. I know. Fried fish. They bring you their bread toasted for your bread before the meal, and they brought me a couple cookies at the end of the meal. The cookies are good, they're the crispy kind. The service is fabulous. I actually learned yesterday that the restaurant is only open three days a week because they've been so busy during the week baking all the gluten-free stuff to send out! The lady was all apologetic and I'm like, No! It's ok! I have a five minute drive to my local health food store where I can get your bread fresh, I'm not complaining, I'll wait til thursday!

There's also a movie theater and some nice shopping about five minutes away from the restaurant, so it's easy to make a day trip of it. They're open for dinner only Thurs Fri Sat.

That sounds soooo good!!! The closest I game to garlic bread (without trying lol) is spreading some garlic that was crushed in a food processor and fried in butter and spreading that over a piece of Kinnikinnick's white bread (that's the only gluten-free bread I eat). It was quite good, could taste more garlic than anything...though I think next time if I do that, I'll throw it in the toaster oven (oh wait, I just remembered ours as home doesnt work!!). Someday hehe. And as us Ukrainians say, you can never have too much garlic :lol:

I've used the Kinnikinnick hot dog buns, spread on soft butter and garlic salt and pop under the broiler... yum! Closest thing to my much-missed Coles garlid bread.

Oh, that's a good idea, I thought those buns were too thick and heavy for hot dogs, but they'd make great garlic toast.

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.

      Glutened

      By Oliverg · Posted

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
