Hot-and-Ready Gluten Free Bread Machine Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is a great addition to any Gluten Free pasta dish, chili or stew, or even a delicious meat sandwich (steak is a classic!), but when you’re buying gluten bread from the grocery store, it can get expensive. Besides, you can’t beat home baking with this homemade bread machine variety of garlic bread.
Your bread machine will do most of the work for you, and all you have to do is enjoy!
You’ll want to give yourself a bit of time before dinner goes on the table though because you’re going to be baking this twice. The whole process should take about three hours.
Bread machines from different manufacturers may need to be used in different ways, so make sure you’re familiar with your machine before using it.
You need to know the order in which your manufacturer recommends ingredients be placed, and how to set the machine. Check out this machine; it has a special, gluten-free option.
There are two different ways you can go about making your garlic bread, depending on your preference. You can either:
a) have the bread machine simply mix the dough for you without proofing or baking so that you can make baguette-shaped garlic bread, or
b) have the machine bake the bread completely and apply your garlic spread to each individual piece.
The first option will give you garlic bread that is crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, while the second will give you more of a garlic toast. Either way, you’ll have tasty garlic bread that your family will love.
