Equipment

  • wire rack
  • oven-safe dish

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 8 to 10 minutes until 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 and whisk until combined. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes until a smooth, sticky dough forms.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with gluten free flour. Divide the dough in half. With well-oiled hands, shape each piece into a long log about 12 to 14 inches long and place them on the prepared sheet, spaced a few inches apart.
    Smooth the surface with damp fingers. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot for 40 to 50 minutes, until noticeably puffed.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 F and place an oven-safe dish on the bottom rack. Score the tops of the baguettes with 3 to 4 shallow diagonal slashes. Pour half a cup of hot water into the dish on the bottom rack to create steam, and immediately place the baguettes in the oven.
  • Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crisp and the internal temperature reaches 205 F.
  • Let the baguettes cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. The crust will be beautifully crisp, and the interior soft and airy.
