Gluten Free Kalamata Olive And Rosemary Bread Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE KALAMATA OLIVE AND ROSEMARY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F.
• Sift the flours, yeast and all other dry ingredients (except coarse sea salt) into a medium bowl. Stir in flax meal and rosemary, and combine.
• Combine wet ingredients, including the two whole eggs and the two separated egg whites in a large bowl, using a hand-mixer on low or medium speed. [The two separated egg yolks should be set aside in a small bowl for later use as a glaze]. When fully combined, add kalamata olives. Slowly add dry ingredient mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until fully blended, with no lumps. Scrape the sides regularly.
• Grease a 9x5" bread pan, and pour the dough into the pan. Use a spatula or knife to evenly shape the top of the loaf. Cut two diagonal slashes in the top of the loaf. Beat the two separated egg yolks that have been set aside and brush the top of the loaf very lightly with them. Optional: Sprinkle coarse sea salt crystals very sparsely to embellish the loaf.
• Turn off the oven and immediately place the pan in it. Do not open the door again, if possible. Allow the dough to rise for 90 minutes. It should rise to the very top of the pan.
• Increase heat to 350F and bake for approximately 40 minutes. The crust should be golden-brown. Allow to cool slightly before removing it from the pan to finish cooling. Do not slice until the bread is no longer hot.
• This loaf does not need to be frozen, but if there are leftovers after a few days, place slices in airtight bags and freeze.

KALAMATA OLIVE AND GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl dissolve sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. To proof yeast, stir in yeast and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes in a warm place.
• Preheat oven to 105 degree F (40 degrees C). Warm an oven-safe bowl in the oven.
• Place flour in bowl of food processor. Add salt and pulse for a few seconds.
• Start food processor. Pour proofed yeast into flour through hole. Immediately add the additional 3/4 cup warm water, then the olive oil. Process for about 1 minute or until dough ball cleans the sides of the processor bowl. If dough is too wet add a little flour through the top while processing, or if too dry, add a little more water.
• Turn off food processor. Remove lid and transfer dough to the heated bowl. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap.
• Let rise for a half hour in a warm place, like the lukewarm oven.
• In a small bowl, combine minced garlic and chopped olives. Set aside.
• Once dough has risen, transfer dough to a lightly floured board. Make an indentation in the dough and place olive mixture inside. Knead dough 10 times. Bulk of mixture should remain in middle of dough. Form dough into a log or round loaf shape.
• Grease a pie pan (for a round loaf) or a baking sheet (for a log) and dust with cornmeal. Place loaf on prepared pan, cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake bread in preheated oven until browned and loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

GLUTEN FREE ROSEMARY BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Prepare a 6-inch cast iron skillet (if you don't have cast iron, use a 6-inch round oven safe dutch oven or bowl). Using ½ tsp olive oil and a paper towel, lightly coat the entire inside of the dish to help prevent sticking.
• In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110° F), sugar and yeast. Gently stir and set aside for 5-10 minutes. The yeast should start to bubble and foam at the top.
• In a stand mixer, combine gluten free flour, guar gum, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and chopped rosemary until mixed (about 30 seconds).
• Once the yeast has become bubbly and foamy, pour into the flour mixture. Add 2 tbso olive oil. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides if needed. The dough will be sticky.
• Transfer the dough to your prepared cast iron skillet. Using a spatula (get it wet to help prevent sticking), gently mound the dough into a ball, smoothing out the dough as you go. The ball should be about 4 inches in diameter.
• Using the remaining 1 tsp olive oil, gently rub it over the dough (this prevents the dough from drying out as it will not be covered during proofing. It also helps the bread develop a crispy crust.) Place the pan in a warm spot and allow the dough to double in size. This can take anywhere from 35-45 minutes, depending on the temperature. Toward the end of the dough proof, preheat your oven to 425° F (removing the pan from the oven if necessary).
• Sprinkle remaining ¼ teaspoon kosher salt on the dough. If desired, make two slashes with a sharp knife on the top (purely decorative), but be careful not to slash too deep. Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the outside crust is lightly browned.
• Serve warm.
