Fat Free French Bread (Gluten Free) image

This authentic tasting French Bread has a thick crusty outside and a soft inside. It is great for sandwiches, garlic bread and dipping in pasta sauces or olive oil. My husband loves this bread even better than regular French Bread. I got this recipe from Bette Hagman's book, "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy." It has only lasted up to 4 days in my house so far, due to being eaten, but I keep it in the fridge and it stays crusty and delicious! SUPPLIES: You will need non-stick cooking spray, plastic wrap, a rubber spatula and either a French bread pan or aluminum foil.

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 loaf, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups gluten-free flour (2 parts rice flour, 2/3 part potato starch, 1/3 part tapioca flour)
2 tablespoons gluten-free flour (same as mix above)
2 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons quick-rising yeast
1 teaspoon vinegar or 1 teaspoon dough enhancer
2 egg whites (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)

Steps:

  • Place 2 egg whites in a bowl and leave out so they will come up to room temperature.
  • Spray non-stick cooking spray on a French bread pan (or curve a doubled piece of aluminum foil into the shape of a loaf as long as a cookie sheet). Also spray a sheet of plastic wrap that is the length of your pan and set aside.
  • Warm 1.5 cups of water by placing it in the microwave on high for a minute.
  • In an electric mixer bowl, whisk together flours, xanthan gum, sugar, salt and yeast.
  • Add the vinegar, egg whites and water and beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.
  • Use a strong rubber spatula to transfer dough into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Dough will be very thick and sticky. Place the plastic wrap, sprayed-side down, loosely over the dough. Let rise in a warm and moist place for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Bake for 1 hour. Turn oven down to 350 and bake an additional 15 minutes.
  • Enjoy it hot and crusty out of the oven by tearing off pieces, or let cool and cut into slices.
