Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 300g Genius gluten free bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 packet (7g) yeast
- 350ml warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 300g of Genius gluten free bread flour, 1 tsp of salt, and 2 tbsp of sugar. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate small bowl, dissolve 1 packet (7g) of yeast in 350ml of warm water (ideally around 37°C or 98°F). Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is activated.
- Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add 2 tbsp of olive oil to the bowl and stir gently to combine.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix until a sticky dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough gently in the bowl for a minute or two until everything is well incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. This allows the dough to expand and develop flavor.
- After the dough has risen, lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or your hands. Ensure the dough is evenly distributed in the pan.
- Cover the loaf pan again with a towel and let it rise for another 15 minutes while the oven finishes preheating.
- Once the dough has risen slightly, place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- After baking, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Enjoy your freshly baked Genius gluten free bread as is or with your favorite spreads!
Tips
- Yeast Activation is Key: Ensure your warm water is precisely around 37°C (98°F). Too hot will kill the yeast, too cold won't activate it properly.
- Rising Environment Matters: Find a warm, draft-free spot in your kitchen for dough rising. Near a preheating oven or on top of a warm appliance works great.
- Don't Overmix: Gluten-free dough is delicate. Mix just until ingredients are combined to prevent a tough texture.
- Moisture is Your Friend: Cover the dough during rising to prevent it from drying out.
- Patience Pays Off: Allow sufficient rising time to develop flavor and texture.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the bread cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure and prevent crumbling.
