Ingredients:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not already included the flour blend)
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- 1 cup water (around 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), finely chopped
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the olive oil, warm water, honey, and apple cider vinegar.
- Using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment or a wooden spoon, mix until well combined. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more warm water. The dough should be sticky but manageable.
- Fold in the fresh herbs if you are using them.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until almost doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer the dough onto the parchment paper and shape it into a rustic loaf or round flatbread shape with oiled hands.
- Cover it loosely with the kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
- Gently brush the top of the dough with some olive oil before placing it in the oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
