Rise to the Occasion with Gluten-Free Bread Tips
Gluten provides the elastic network that traps gas bubbles. Without it, we need new strategies to get that loft.
Hydration is Key
Gluten-free dough should be much wetter than traditional dough—more like a thick batter. Don't be tempted to add more flour; moisture is what creates the steam for lift.
The Power of Psyllium Husk
Xanthan gum is common, but psyllium husk powder is the game changer for bread. It creates a gel-like structure that allows the dough to be kneaded and shaped, providing that chewy, bread-like texture.
Longer Proofing
Give your yeast time and warmth. GF flours don't offer food for yeast as readily as wheat, so a warm, humid rising environment is crucial.
