This easy gluten-free artisan bread recipe offers a crispy crust and soft interior, providing a delicious, satisfying loaf without the need for complicated techniques or equipment.

Ingredients

3 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour

1 packet active dry yeast

1 tablespoon xanthan gum (or 2 teaspoons if your flour blend contains xanthan gum)

2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

2 eggs

1 ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

2 cups warm water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and sugar until dissolved. Set aside for about 10 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, xanthan gum, vinegar, eggs, and the yeasted water. Stir everything together with a wooden spoon, or use your hands to combine.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rest on your counter for about 50 minutes. The dough won’t double in size.
  4. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place your Dutch oven inside while it preheats.
  5. Lay a piece of parchment paper on your counter and dust it lightly with gluten-free flour. Scrape the dough out of the bowl and form it into a ball using the parchment paper.
  6. Once the dough is shaped, slice a couple of small cuts on the top for a rustic look.
  7. Place the dough (still on the parchment paper) into the preheated Dutch oven and bake covered for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try infusing the dough with herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
  • Add 1 cup of shredded cheese for a cheesy variation, with Parmesan or cheddar working best.
  • Sweeten the bread by adding 2 tablespoons of honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
