Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 3/4 cups warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, yeast, salt, and sugar.
- 2
Add the warm water, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.
- 3
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
- 4
If refrigerated, remove the dough 1 hour before baking to come to room temperature.
- 5
Place a Dutch oven with its lid in the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C) for 30 minutes.
- 6
While the Dutch oven heats, turn the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. With wet hands, shape it into a round boule. Score the top with a sharp knife or razor blade.
- 7
Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven. Lift the dough by the parchment and place it inside. Cover with the lid.
- 8
Bake covered for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until deeply golden and crusty.
- 9
Remove from the Dutch oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- 10
The bread will continue to set its structure as it cools — resist cutting too early!
Tips & Notes
- •Psyllium husk is the secret ingredient — it provides the elasticity that gluten normally would. Don't substitute with psyllium capsules.
- •The overnight cold rise in the fridge develops better flavor and a more complex crumb.
- •Preheating the Dutch oven is critical for achieving that bakery-style crust.
- •Score the dough at least 1/2 inch deep — shallow scores won't open properly during baking.
Recipe Variations
- →Rosemary Olive: Fold in 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary before shaping.
- →Everything Bread: Roll the shaped boule in everything bagel seasoning before baking.
