This french bread is amazing!! It tastes so similar to the wheat containing french bread. Plus it freezes wonderfully!!! It's crusty on the outside, and soft and tender within. It is fabulous alone, or made as little brushetta', using 'Joanne's Creamy Brushetta' recipe(#108383).You can make it from start to finish in about one hour!!

YUMMY FOOLPROOF GLUTEN FREE FRENCH BREAD!

Yummy Foolproof Gluten Free French Bread! image

From Cooking Free by Carol Fenster. This turned out great, even in a regular bread pan. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Carol says: "Put this in a cold oven for a crisp crust and nice texture. If this doesn't work in your oven, let the bread rise until level with top of pan; then bake in preheated 425° F oven for 25-30 minutes. Use a pan specially designed for French bread." It is critical to cool bread completely before slicing and is easier to slice with electric knife. This is a quicker bread because you don't have to let it rise before baking.

Time 40m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (110 F)
2 cups gluten-free flour (see Gluten Free Flour Blend)
1 cup potato starch or 1 cup arrowroot
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon guar gum
1/4 cup powdered milk (cow, rice or soy)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon Earth Balance margarine or 1 tablespoon butter
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 egg white, beaten for wash (optional)

Steps:

In bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and set aside for 5 minutes, or until yeast foams.
Grease French bread pan or line with parchment paper.
In bowl of a Bosch or Kitchen Aid mixer, combine ingredients, except the egg wash, then add the yeast mixture.
Beat on low speed to blend; beat on high speed for 2minutes, stirring down sides with spatula. Dough will be soft.
Divide dough in half on the prepared pan. Smooth each half into 12-inch-long logs with wet spatula.
Brush with egg wash for glossier crust, if desired. Make 3 diagonal slashes (1/8 inch deep) in each loaf so steam can escape during baking.
Place immediately on the middle rack of a COLD oven. Set the temperature at 425° F and bake for 30-35 minutes, until nicely browned.
Remove bread from pan; cool completely on wire rack before slicing with electric knife. Makes 2 loaves.

Tips:

Choose the right gluten-free flour blend. Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal. Some are better suited for baking bread than others. Look for a blend that is high in protein and low in starch. This will help you achieve a light and airy loaf of bread.
Use a bread machine. A bread machine can make the process of baking gluten-free bread much easier. Simply add the ingredients to the machine and it will do the rest. However, if you don't have a bread machine, you can also bake gluten-free bread in a regular oven.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly and produce a light and airy loaf of bread.
Bake the bread at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Baking gluten-free bread can be a challenge, but it is definitely possible. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and nutritious loaf of gluten-free bread that your whole family will enjoy.
