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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
