ARTISAN-STYLE, GLUTEN-FREE BREAD
INGREDIENTS:
• 500 grams (1.1 lbs) (17.637 ozs.) (3 3/4 - 4 cups) Caputo Brand, “Fioreglut”, gluten-free flour (this flour works best, period)
• 5 grams dry yeast (i.e. 1 ¼ to 1 ½ tsp)
• 400 grams (400 ml) (14.1 oz) of luke-warm water, around 80-degrees F
• 10 grams salt (i.e. 1 ½ tsp)
• 12 grams (3 tsp) extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) plus more for mixing
• Some extra gluten-free flour for dusting

Process
• Add yeast to the flour, and then add the water, mix to incorporate (before you mix, coat your hands with EVOO. If using a spatula to mix, coat the spatula with EVOO)
• Then add the salt and mix in until incorporated
• Now add the EVOO and continue mix (use the pincher method, which is to squeeze the dough while mixing)
• Once all ingredients are mixed thoroughly together, let rest, covered, for 10 minutes
• After 10 minutes, coat your hands with some EVOO and shape the dough into a round shape (like making a large meat ball)
• In a proofing basket (or bowl), sprinkle it generously with gluten free flour (this will help prevent the dough from sticking) and then place the dough in the basket
• Sprinkle some gluten free flour on top of the dough and cover with a kitchen towel until it doubles in size, which is typically 3 – 4 hours
• Place a Dutch oven with its lid (or any other oven proof bakeware and lid) into the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F
• Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from your oven, and carefully place the dough inside. Score the top of the dough with a bread lame (or you can cut the top with scissors) Place lid on top and cook in oven for 30 minutes with lid on
• After 30 minutes, remove lid and cook for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, change setting on oven to broil and broil for 5 minutes (this will add an amazing color to the top of the bread)
• Then remove the bread and let stand 30 minutes. Enjoy 😊

Thank you!

I just made this yesterday. It's by far the best gluten free bread I've ever had. Not even close. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Hi! I was diagnosed with Celiac disease about a year ago. We have been using this recipe for a few weeks now. Each time I make it it gets better! I found this video was shared in a celiac support group on Facebook. It has changed my life!!!! I have also made your pizza dough and literally cried because I could eat bread and pizza again that actually tasted like the real
thing! My kids say that my GF pizza tastes better than the “normal “ pizza. Thank you for sharing this with us. We would welcome more yummy GF recipes, KEEP THEM COMING!!!

I made this yesterday and today. A HUGE word of advice to you guys. Chef says he has not made this with other GF flours and can't say how they will turn out. Save yourself money and time. Use the GF flour he recommends. I thought I'd try to save a few $ and bought King Arthur Measure for Measure GF flour (it was half the price). What a waste of money. It turned out like a hockey puck, did not rise at all and was gummy. I bought the Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour and OMG it turned out perfect. A nice rise, gorgeous fluffy crumb and a crunchy crust. Yes that flour is pricey, but it takes quality ingredients to make fantastic food.

I'm in Bali, there's a place called Made's Banana Flour Bakery, they turn green bananas into flour, which they then make bread from (and various other things). Not only is it excellent bread, it's not full of all the chemicals or treatments they use to make 'wheat starch' or other manufactured mixes. The baguettes are excellent too, plenty of bite and nice flavour too. I've been 'wheat free' for many years, after a food poisoning bout caused leaky gut, only discovered some 20 years & lots of problems later. Back to the bread, I've tried just about every gf product on the market, the banana bread is the best, bar none...

This looks fantastic! People who are going nuts in the comments very clearly do not understand that this is Italian gluten free flour. Italy, as a country, has extremely strict government policies in place regarding Celiac Disease. Citizens with Celiac receive a stiped and GF food (including this flour) is sold in pharmacies. This flour is safe for those of us with Celiac. It is NOT safe for those with a wheat allergy, however. With that being said-US produced items made this way claiming to be GF, are usually not safe. This, however, is safe given the much, much stricter Italian standards. Can not wait to try this recipe!

I'm a bread fanatic and never made bread before. Wife is gluten free and came across your recipe so I made it tonight for her. I'm eating it right now with olive oil and a bowl of Tuscan bean soup I made to go along with it. Absolutely fantastic.

After 12 years of eating very ordinary GF bread from the supermarket, this has been an amazing experience! My husband made this recipe this afternoon and we served it at dinner for guests who do not normally eat GF foods. They were amazed! And I LOVE it! Thank you!

[adriajanni]

Giving it a try. Placing an order on Amazon for the flour. Thank you

[OrdinaryMerry]

Thank you so much for this recipe! My daughter and husband have Celiac. We did research before we used this flour to understand what wheat starch is. We were hesitant to use it but after researching what wheat starch is we were comfortable with it. This is the best gluten free bread I have ever tasted. I appreciate you taking the time to make a gluten free recipe. I can’t wait to try out your pizza dough recipe.

[chrisfuller]

Thank you! We discovered last year my wife has a gluten allergy, and we’ve avoided bread or suffered through grocery store bought stuff that is unsatisfying. After making this today I’ll now be making it every weekend so she can eat bread like she remembers it. You’ve made me a hero at home and that’s priceless, thank you!

[susielifeutube]

I just made this today and I have to say that it is the very best ever gluten-free bread that I've ever eaten. It holds together so well. My husband tried a slice and said he could not tell that it was gluten-free.

[sweetcharlemaigne]

thank you for this recipe! Undiagnosed Celiac disease - gluten - almost ended my life as it caused my adrenals to fail. was known for my baking previously, so to find a good gluten free bread recipe is a

[susanbohor]

This is by far the best gluten free bread I have ever had. I just wish the flour wasn’t so expensive. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

[eska]

This was incredible! My 8 year old celiac was soooo happy - he hasn't liked any GF bread since his diagnosis two years ago. Thank you so much - it sounds dramatic but this is actually life changing. The whole family couldnt believe it's GF!!

[deniseagostinelli]

I'm a bread baker and have avoided it for a couple years due to my husband being sensitive to gluten. Now I can make him an artisan loaf of homemade bread that he really enjoys!! It is easy and the bread came out perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!!

[chircopmatt]

I'm going to try this! My wife is coeliac and if this works she'll be over the moon. Thank you for the recipe

[sandramackenzie]

Hi Ivo, this bread looks amazing!! I was diagnosed with celiac disease 11 years and it has been a struggle finding decent gluten free bread . This has been made even more difficult by the fact that I live in Barbados. BUTTTT, I am about to receive 2 bags of Caputo gluten free flour and I am soo excited to make your recipe! Thanks again.

[juanajimenez]

I really enjoyed your video and I was most impressed because you are the first chef I've seen take off their ring before using their hands to mix. I've always thought it bad to keep rings on whilst touching food. The bread you made looks wonderful I will give it a try. Thank you.

[Julialuli]

This is an awesome recipe! Thank you!!!! I have Celiac and ignore the naysayers who don’t understand science. Washing starch from grains isn’t new. If it’s done properly it’s GF. Caputo is certified GF. If you’ve ever looked at Schär products you’ll see the same thing. People who are sensitive or allergic to *wheat* can’t eat wheat starch, but Celiac isn’t an allergic reaction!! It’s confusing but if a product is certified GF it has to be below 10, 000 ppm and most are below 5, 000 ppm. Both levels are safe for people with Celiac.

[SE-ylqj]

we baked it based on his recipe, this was great. thank you for bringing the bread back to my daughter's life.
