Ingredients
For Activating the Yeast:
1.5 cups warm water (370 ml)
1 teaspoon sugar (4 grams)
½ teaspoon active dry yeast (2 grams)
For Dry Ingredients:
3 cups gluten-free flour (420 grams) – Caputo or any gluten-free blend with xanthan gum or guar gum
1 teaspoon salt (5 grams)
Instructions
-
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then sprinkle active dry yeast on top. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour and salt.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together. It will be sticky and shaggy.
-
Let the Dough Rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rise for 12-18 hours (overnight works best) in a warm, draft-free area.
-
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven or heavy oven-safe pot with a lid inside as it preheats.
-
Shape the Dough: After rising, lightly flour your hands and gently shape the dough into a round loaf. Be careful not to deflate the dough.
-
Bake the Bread: Carefully transfer the dough into the preheated Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
-
Cool the Bread: Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Add-ins: Feel free to add seeds (chia, sunflower), herbs (rosemary), or nuts to the dough for extra flavor and texture.
Flour Blend: Ensure your gluten-free flour contains xanthan gum or guar gum to help provide structure.
Sweet Version: Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup for a subtly sweet loaf.
