Gluten Free Rosemary Bread Recipe By Tasty

GLUTEN-FREE ARTISAN BREAD

Steps:

• Whisk and mix the ingredients in a 5- to 6-quart lidded container. Finish by picking up the container and vigorously shaking until the flours are completely blended.
• The ingredients must be very well mixed, otherwise the xanthan gum or psyllium will not be evenly distributed and your loaves will be inconsistent.
• Store the flour mixture in an airtight container in a cool dark area until needed.
• * Do not substitute with sweet white rice flour.
• ** Do not substitute with potato flour.
• If you're measuring by U.S. cup-measures, be sure to pack the flour tightly into the cup, as if you were measuring brown sugar.
• In a 5 to 6-quart bowl or stand mixer, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt and sugar.
• Add the lukewarm water - lukewarm water (100ºF) will allow the dough to rise to the right point for storage in about 2 hours.
• Mix with the paddle attachment of mixer until mixture is very smooth, for about one minute. Alternatively, using a spoon or spatula, mix well by hand for one to two minutes. Kneading is not necessary. Transfer mixture to lidded (not airtight) food container.
• Cover with a lid that fits well to the container but can be cracked open so it's not completely airtight. Plastic wrap is fine, too. Allow the mixture to rise at room temperature about 2 hours; then refrigerate it and use over the next 10 days. You can use a portion of the dough any time after the 2-hour rise. Fully refrigerated wet dough is less sticky and easier to work with than dough at room temperature, but whatever you do, do not punch down the dough - this is unnecessary with gluten-free bread baking.
• On baking day: pull off a 1-pound (grapefruit-size) piece of dough, then place it on a pizza peel prepared with plenty of cornmeal or parchment paper. Gently press the dough into a ball and use wet fingers to smooth the surface. Allow it to rest at room temperature for 60 minutes loosely covered with plastic wrap or under a roomy overturned bowl. The dough will not look as though it has risen much after the 60 minutes - this is normal.
• While the dough is resting, preheat a baking stone or baking steel near the middle of your oven set at 450ºF for at least 30 minutes. Alternatively, preheat a lidded Dutch oven for 45 minutes at 450ºF. If you are using the stone or steel, place an empty metal broiler tray for holding water on the shelf below the stone or steel.
• Dust the top of the dough liberally with gluten-free flour. Slash a 1/4-inch to a 1/2-inch deep cross or scallop(s) across the top using a wet serrated bread knife.
• Shimmy the loaf onto the preheated stone. Quickly and carefully pour 1 cup of hot water from the tap into the metal broiler tray and close the oven door to trap the steam. If you are using parchment paper on the steel or stone, remove it after 20 minutes. Bake loaf for a total of 45 minutes. Alternatively, use the piece of parchment paper as handles and carefully lower the dough-topped parchment paper into the preheated pot. Cover and place in the oven. No need for a steam bath with the dutch oven. If you are using the preheated vessel, remove the lid after 30 minutes, and bake for 15 minutes longer uncovered or until the crust is richly browned.
• Allow bread to cool completely, about 2 hours, on a wire rack.
• Store remaining dough in the refrigerator in your lidded or loosely plastic-wrapped container and use it over the next 10 days. If your container isn't vented, allow gasses to escape by leaving the cover open a crack for the first couple of days in the fridge. After that, it can be closed.

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.

DELICIOUS ROSEMARY BREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve the sugar in warm water in a medium bowl, and mix in the yeast. When yeast is bubbly, mix in salt, butter, 1 tablespoon rosemary, and Italian seasoning. Mix in 2 cups flour. Gradually add remaining flour to form a workable dough, and knead 10 to 12 minutes.
• Coat the inside of a large bowl with olive oil. Place dough in bowl, cover, and allow to rise 1 hour in a warm location.
• Punch down dough, and divide in half. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease paper. Shape dough into 2 round loaves, and place on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining rosemary. Cover, and allow to rise 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Brush loaves with egg. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

SLOW COOKER ROSEMARY BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir. Let sit for 15 minutes, until the surface is foamy.
• Add the salt, olive oil, and rosemary. Mix well.
• Slowly add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
• Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, until it is no longer sticky.
• Set the dough in the middle of a piece of parchment paper large enough to line the slow cooker.
• Place the parchment paper with the dough in the slow cooker. Drape a kitchen towel over the top and cover with the lid. Set the slow cooker to warm and let the dough proof for about 30 minutes, until doubled in size. Check occasionally to make sure the dough is not cooking.
• Lift the parchment paper to remove the dough from the slow cooker.
• Sprinkle a bit of flour on a clean surface. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, then shape it into a ball that will fit in the slow cooker.
• Place the dough back on the parchment paper and return to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the top with salt and rosemary.
• Cover the slow cooker with the towel and the lid and cook on high heat for 1½-2 hours, until the bread has a thick, dry, white crust, or a thermometer inserted in the loaf reaches 190°F (90°C).
• Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
• Using the parchment paper, transfer the bread to a baking sheet. Trim the excess parchment.
• Bake for 5-10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
• Let cool for about 15 minutes, then slice.
• Enjoy!
