Gluten-Free Greek Bread

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:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the olive oil, warm water, honey, and apple cider vinegar.
  3. 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.
  4. Fold in the fresh herbs if you are using them.
  5. 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.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Transfer the dough onto the parchment paper and shape it into a rustic loaf or round flatbread shape with oiled hands.
  8. Cover it loosely with the kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
  9. Gently brush the top of the dough with some olive oil before placing it in the oven.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
  11. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
