Gluten and Dairy Free French Bread

Course breads, dairy free, gfcf, gluten free, yeast bread

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cup warm gluten and dairy free milk substitute of choice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 ¾ cups potato starch
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sorghum flour
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 3 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg white ** I save the egg yolk to mix with 1 tablespoon water to use as an egg wash for the loaves before baking
  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • **for egg free version: use 1 ½ Tablespoons ground golden flax and 4 ½ Tablespoon warm water mixed together to replace the egg and egg white.

Instructions
 

  • Oil rimmed baking sheet or French bread pan, or baguette pan. If using French or baguette pans, line indentations with foil or parchment paper and oil foil or paper. (This lining step is necessary or the dough will stick in holes of the specialty pans.) Using a baguette pan will give you the best results.
  • Mix sugar and yeast in milk substitute. Set aside while mixing dry ingredients.
  • Whisk potato starch, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt together in bowl of heavy duty mixer. Add yeast mixture, oil, eggs, and cider vinegar to mixer bowl. Using the paddle attachment of mixer beat on low until blended. Scrape down bowl then beat on high speed for three minutes.
  • Divide dough in half or thirds, depending on size of loaves desired, on baking sheet. You can scoop the dough into the pan, or scoop the dough into a gallon sized zip close freezer bag. Snip the corner of the bag and use the bag to pipe the dough onto the pan (this is how I usually prepare this recipe). With wet hands smooth dough into logs 14 to 18 inches long. At this point you can brush with egg wash (I use the left over egg yolk whisked with 1 tablespoon of water), if desired. Make 4 to 5 diagonal slashes in the dough about ¼ inches deep. Allow to sit to rise for 10 minutes (15 minutes if using egg substitute).
  • Place pan on a middle rack in a COLD oven. Take some ice and put it on an old baking pan you don’t mind warping, and put it in the oven (on the bottom rack) with the bread (on the rack next one up from the bottom one in the middle), to get steam in your oven which helps eliminate the weird hard top gluten free crusts can get sometimes. Set oven to 425 degrees and bake for 30 to 35 minutes for 2 loaves and 25 to 30 minutes for 3 loaves until nicely browned.
  • Allow bread to cool before slicing.

    The recipe calls for: 1 ¼ cup warm gluten and dairy free milk substitute of choice But this recipe is suppose to be gluten free. Also when do you add it to the mixures? I didn't see that part of the recipe.

      You are to use a gluten and dairy free milk substitute of choice, meaning free of gluten AND free of dairy. I am sorry if that wasn't clear, but this is a gluten free and dairy free recipe, as long as you are using ingredients that are free of dairy and free of gluten as stated. :) As far as when to add the milk substitute to the recipe. The milk substitute has the yeast and sugar added then set aside. After whisking together the gluten free starches and flours, you add the yeast mixture (which contains the milk substitute) and was set aside earlier. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

    will any milk substitute work? Goat milk or almond milk. What about soy?

      I have not tried this recipe with goat milk, only rice, almond, coconut (in the carton, not canned), soy and hemp. I use only unsweetened, unflavored milk substitutes when baking. Each milk substitute imparts their own flavor and qualities to the milk (i.e.- some help the bread brown more, with some you may get a slightly loftier rise, etc.) I have not tested this recipe side by side with each substitute to know, but use what I have on hand that was on sale, so I use a different milk sub each time and it works out quite well for my family. The extra crust (due to the shape of the loaf) makes this a very forgiving loaf to bake up. It should work with goat milk just fine, but I can't say what will be different flavor or texture-wise. Let me know how that works for you. I would love to know how goat milk turns out in this recipe! :)
