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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
