Equipment

  • wire rack

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 1/2 cup Tapioca Starch
  • 2 tsp Psyllium Husk Powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups Warm Water (110 F)
  • 2 Large Egg Whites (room temperature)
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 8 to 10 minutes until bubbly and foamy.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, and salt.
  • Add the egg whites, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine, then pour into the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously for about 3 minutes until a very wet, sticky batter-like dough forms. This dough is meant to be very loose and wet, which is what creates ciabatta's signature open crumb.
  • Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 60 to 75 minutes, until it has roughly doubled in size and looks bubbly throughout.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and generously dust it with gluten free flour. Gently scrape the dough onto the prepared sheet without deflating it too much. Using well-floured hands, gently shape it into a rough rectangle about 10 by 6 inches. The shape should be rustic and imperfect.
    Dust the top lightly with gluten free flour. Let it rest uncovered for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place an oven-safe dish on the bottom rack. Pour half a cup of hot water into the dish right before placing the bread in the oven to create steam.
  • Bake for 24 to 30 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
