Ingredients

1.5 cups warm water (370 ml)

1 teaspoon sugar (4 g)

½ teaspoon active dry yeast (2 g)

3 cups gluten-free  flour (420 g, e.g., Caputo)

1 teaspoon salt (5 g)

Directions

Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let it rest 5 minutes until bubbly.

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl.

Add yeast mixture to flour and stir until a sticky dough forms.

Cover and let rest for 5 hours at room temperature.

Shape the dough lightly on a floured surface.

Place in a parchment-lined baking dish and cover with a lid or foil.

Put in a cold oven, set to 450°F (230°C), and bake for 40 minutes.

Remove cover and bake 25–30 minutes until golden brown.

Cool 10 minutes before slicing.

Optional Add-Ins: Herbs, seeds, nuts, or shredded  cheese

 Tips for Perfect Results Every Time

Use fresh yeast. Expired yeast won’t rise properly and can ruin the texture.

Avoid overmixing. Once ingredients are combined, stop stirring to keep the dough light.

Rest properly. The resting stage is key—this allows gluten-free flours to hydrate and develop structure naturally.

Cool before cutting. Cutting too soon can make the inside sticky or dense.

Store smartly. Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating

Room Temperature: Store the cooled bread in an airtight container for up to 48 hours.

Refrigerator: Lasts up to 5 days when wrapped in foil or a zip bag.

Freezer: Freeze slices for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to bring back the crispness.
