Peasant Bread Loaf

This easy no-knead peasant bread is a game changer! Incredibly simple to make, it is soft, fluffy, and so delicious. A great alternative if sourdough isn’t your cup of tea.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups gluten free flour

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 2 teaspoons instant yeast

• 2 Tablespoons honey

• 2 servings of egg replacer

• 1 teaspoon vinegar

• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

• 2 cups warm water

INSTRUCTIONS 

• In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Whisk to combine. Add the wet ingredients and mix. It should make a pancake batter like consistency.

• Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

• Place an oven rack in the center position. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Generously grease a 9-inch glass bowl or 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. (See note for other pan sizes/options.)

• Scrape the dough away from the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, forming a rough ball in the center of the bowl. Lightly grease your hands with cooking spray or oil and shape the dough into a circle loaf shape (or a rectangle loaf shape if using a loaf pan), tucking edges under. Place in the prepared pan. The loaf will not be completely smooth and may look a bit rough in shape, that's ok!

• Let the dough rest, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes until slightly puffy.

• Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and continue to bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
