Gluten Free Whole Baguette Recipe

Baguette Preparation

1. 1

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and instant yeast. Whisk together until well mixed.

2. 2

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, mix warm water, olive oil, and honey until dissolved.

3. 3

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms.

4. 4

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour). Knead gently for about 5 minutes until smooth.

   First Rise

   Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

   Shape the Baguette

   Once risen, punch down the dough gently. Divide into two equal portions and shape each into a baguette form. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

   Second Rise

   Cover the shaped baguettes with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
