Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 3 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend Look for a blend with xanthan gum
  • 2.25 teaspoons Instant Yeast One packet
  • 1.5 teaspoons Fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups Warm water Should feel like warm bath water
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or sugar Optional substitution
  • 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder Optional for extra chew

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, salt, and instant yeast.
  2. Pour the warm water and honey (or sugar) into the bowl.
  3. Use a sturdy spoon to mix until no dry flour remains. The dough should be sticky and shaggy.
  4. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm, draft-free spot for 2 to 3 hours until bubbly.
Baking
  1. Place a Dutch oven inside your oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C) for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Scrape the dough onto parchment paper and use wet hands to smooth the top into a round shape.
  3. Carefully drop the parchment and dough into the hot pot. Bake with the lid on for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes until golden and crunchy.
  5. Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.

Notes

Use wet hands to shape the dough without the mess. Time the rise for improved flavor and texture. You can add dried herbs, olives, or sun-dried tomatoes for variations.
