Crusty GF Artisan Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown Rice Flour
• 1/2 cup Tapioca Starch
• 1/4 cup Sorghum Flour
• 1/4 cup Potato Starch
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium Husk Powder
• 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 1/2 cups Warm Water (105-115°F)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, tapioca starch, sorghum flour, potato starch, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, and salt.

2. 2

   In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

3. 3

   Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix with a stand mixer or by hand until a sticky dough forms.

4. 4

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside for at least 30 minutes. This is CRITICAL for the crust!

6. 6

   Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Gently transfer the dough to the Dutch oven. Score the top of the dough with a sharp knife or lame.

7. 7

   Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Remove the lid and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown.

9. 9

   Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
