Gluten-free bread in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake gluten-free bread? Prepare the products. This amount of food is enough for one loaf. It took me a little more water than the amount stated in the recipe. Such a large amount of yeast is due to the fact that rice flour is heavy and more of them is needed to lift it.

2. Step 2:

   

   Heat the water to a temperature of about 38 degrees. This is the most comfortable temperature for yeast activation and growth. In colder water they won't wake up, hot water will kill them. Add salt, sugar and yeast to the water. Mix it up. Leave for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate. They should bubble up and rise with a cap.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sift rice flour into a large bowl. Sifting makes the flour more airy, and baking will also be softer and more lush.

4. Step 4:

   

   Make a recess in the flour, break an egg into it. Lightly mix the egg with the flour.

5. Step 5:

   

   Start pouring water with yeast into the flour, stirring it with a fork. Gluten-free flour does not contain gluten, so kneading dough from it differs from the traditional one. The dough remains loose for a long time, does not stick, I want to add more water. I added and overdid it a little, I had to add more flour. So pour it in small portions.

7. Step 6:

   

   Continue kneading with your hand, so it will be easier to feel the dough. It should become homogeneous, soft, of medium density. It will almost not stick to your hands.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cover the bowl with the dough and put it in a warm place for two hours. It should double in volume.

9. Step 8:

   

   Prepare the bread pan. I use silicone, I don't need to do anything with it. If you have a different mold, grease it with oil or line it with baking paper. Transfer the dough to the mold. Level the top.

10. Step 9:

    

    Bake the bread in the oven preheated to 190 °C for about 30-40 minutes. Products made of rice flour do not blush much, my bread has remained light. It is badly cracked on top. This is normal, since bread does not contain wheat flour.

11. Step 10:

    

    Remove the hot bread from the mold and cool on the grill.
