Description
A cozy, shareable cross between cheesy garlic bread and a pull-apart pizza loaf, perfect for busy weeknights and game-day crowds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (360 g) 1:1 gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large egg (or 1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water for egg-free)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Mix the gluten-free flour, sugar, yeast, salt, garlic powder, and oregano in a bowl.
- Add the warm water, olive oil, and egg (or flax mixture), and stir until combined.
- Rest the dough for 20-30 minutes to hydrate the flour.
- Turn the dough onto a rice-flour-dusted surface and shape it into a rectangle; cut into strips to braid or make a pull-apart loaf.
- Prepare garlic butter by mixing melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, and salt.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the shaped dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan on top.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18-22 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping or turn slices into open-faced mini pizzas.
