Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, and instant dry yeast until fully combined.
- Gradually pour in the warm water while stirring to combine until a wet, sticky dough forms. The dough may appear lumpy, which is normal.
Rising
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Shaping and Preheating
- Once risen, use a spatula to gently shape the dough into a round loaf. Place it on a piece of parchment paper, cover with a towel, and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Baking
- Transfer the loaf with the parchment paper into a preheated Dutch oven or any oven-safe pot with a lid. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For best results, use a quality gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum. Allow the dough to rise fully for a light texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.
