Gluten Free Bread Recipes

Breads can be tricky to make, even under the best of circumstances. However, when you're working with gluten free flour, recipes can sometimes get even more complicated. This is because the gluten that is normally found in wheat-flour-based breads to give the dough its elasticity is not present, so this substance must be mimicked through the use of other ingredients such as guar gum, xanthum gum and pre-gel starch.

To get the best breads, start with gluten free bread recipes from a trusted source, such as Goodday Gluten Free. Follow additional good baking practices in the next section to ensure the best results.

Gluten Free Flour: Recipes for Success

Once you have the best gluten free flour, recipes for breads, cakes, cookies and pastries are a snap. In fact, with a few minor adjustments to your usual baking routine, you'll be producing delicious gluten-free goodies in no time.

First, simply choose gluten free bread recipes that are specifically formulated with the right combinations of flours and other ingredients, rather than try to adapt a regular recipe on your own. This will ensure that your breads have just the right texture, including the appropriate amount of chewiness to the crust and softness on the inside.

Bring all of your ingredients, including eggs and water, to room temperature (you can warm eggs more quickly and safely by placing them in warm - not hot - water for a few minutes). If your dough or batter appears too dry or wet during mixing, add a tablespoon of rice flour or a teaspoon of water to the mix until you get the consistency your recipe calls for.

Before popping your dough into the oven, be sure to preheat the oven as well as the pan in which you intend to bake the bread. The pan should be a good, heavy-duty pan. The pan and preheating will help form a tastier, chewier texture on the crust.
