Recipe type: bread
Ingredients
  • 8 tablespoons of luke warm water - plus 2 more for mixing dough, if needed
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups of gluten free self raising flour
  • ½ teaspoon of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon of xanthum gum
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 1egg white - well beaten
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Combine the water with honey and oil. Add the yeast and let it sit for a minute or two.
  3. Whisk in the egg and stir in the flour, baking powder, xanthum gum and salt.
  4. Make into a ball of dough. You may need the other two teaspoons of luke warm water to bring the dough together. You can add a few drops of oil to your hands, so the dough doesn't stick to your hands and it makes it easier to make into a baguette shape.
  5. Form into a baguette shape on the prepared baking sheet and brush with beaten egg white.
  6. Make a few slashes on the top with a bread knife.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until browned. (Make sure you don't cook it too long otherwise it will be dry and crumbly)
  8. Let cool completely before slicing or if you can't wait, break off a chunk, smother in butter and enjoy .... I do!
  9. Tip - make sure your water is luke warm so it will activate the yeast and if it is too hot, the yeast will be destroyed.
