The Gluten Free Lifesaver 5-Minute Gluten-Free Hot Garlic Ciabatta
Super-fast garlic bread!
Sometimes I get a craving for a fast, savoury treat, and garlic bread with grilled cheese is an absolute favourite!
Here’s a quick version that needs no preparation. You can literally whip it up in 5 minutes. Perfect if you want to make a bit more out of a dinner, as a side to your pizza, or simply as a quick snack during the day.
Being gluten-free, it’s always handy to have some long-life bread in the pantry, for on-the-go situations. They heat up nicely in the oven, and taste fresh and soft. On this occasion, I used Dr. Schaer Ciabatta
The garlic butter can be made in a bigger batch, and used for other recipes too. The next day I used the remainder on white fish in the oven. It came out beautifully! So, make an extra batch!
To make 4 quick gluten-free Garlic Ciabattas, you’ll need:
- 4 ready-made gluten-free ciabatta rolls
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp chopped chives
- a pinch of salt (and pepper, if desired)
- Grated cheese for topping
Method:
- Turn the oven on 180 c (356 f)
- Soften the butter by stirring it with a spoon. Tip: If the butter has come right out of the fridge, you can grate it!
- Either finely grate, or use a garlic press to mince the clove of garlic
- Chop the herbs finely (or use frozen ready-chopped herbs)
- mix all the ingredients together well, so that the garlic and herbs are evenly distributed, then add the salt.
- Cut the ciabattas diagonally, but not all the way through, 4 or 5 times across.
- Using a knife, stick about half a tsp of garlic butter into each cut
- Drizzle some grated cheese over top, and bake in the oven until the cheese has a golden crust.
- You can serve them as is, or break them up slightly and drizzle some extra chopped herbs over them!
Enjoy!

Who doesn’t love Italian food! Actually, (random fact) Italy is known for having plenty of options for coeliacs. Anyhow, thanks for your lovely comment 🙂 x
