French breads are one of those types of breads that can be difficult to make gluten free, but I did manage to come across a good recipe that I wanted to share.
Gluten Free French Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110 degrees)
- 3/4 cup sorghum flour
- 1 3/4 cups potato starch
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon guar gum
- 1/4 cup powdered milk
- 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 4 large egg whites, at room temperature, divided use
Directions:
- Line a two-baguette French bread pan with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar and water and stir until dissolved. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the sorghum flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, guar gum, powdered milk, salt, butter, cider, 3 egg whites and the yeast mixture.
- Beat on low to blend. Once blended, beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. The dough will be soft.
- Transfer half of the dough to each side of the prepared pan.
- Use a wet spatula to smooth each into a 12-inch loaf.
- Lightly beat the remaining egg white, them use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top of the loaves.
- Use a knife to cut 3 diagonal slashes (about 1/8-inch deep) across each loaf.
- Place the pan on the middle rack of a cold oven.
- Set the oven to 425 degrees and bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until nicely browned.
- Remove the bread from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
