Category: Breads & Doughs
Style: Gluten Free
Quantity: 2 loaves
Author: Julie Malyon @ SBA's Kitchen
Ingredients
  • 280 g rice flour
  • 110 g tapioca flour
  • 3 tsp xanthum gum
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp dry yeast
  • 400 ml lukewarm water
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 egg whites lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • Canola spray to grease the pans
Instructions

  1. Using a stand mixer, blend the rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, yeast, xanthum gum and salt on low speed to combine

  2. Add the water, olive oil, egg whites and vinegar to the dry ingredients.

  3. With the mixer on high, beat the mixture for 3 minutes.
  4. Spoon the dough into French baguette pans that have been sprayed with canola oil. Smooth the top with a wet spatula.
  5. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and lightly spray with canola oil. Place this lightly (oiled side down), over the dough, and set to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat oven to 200˚C.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove from the pans and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Notes
  • The mixture is quite sticky, and I find that the best way to get it into your baking pans is to use a plastic spatula. I have a jug of warm water on the side and dip the spatula into the water each time, this stops the dough from sticking to the spatula. The dough rises quite fast and will at least double in size.

  • Updated 15 April 2018.  I was making this recipe one day recently and thought of reducing the quantities of sugar and yeast (the original recipe had 1 1/2 tbsp of each in it).  I also wanted to try and simplify the method, so instead of adding the yeast and sugar to the warm water, I added the yeast and sugar in with the dry ingredients.  The water was added with the wet ingredients and it works just as well.
