What You’ll Need
- 1 cup of warm water
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
- 3 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons of xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend already contains it)
- 1 ½ teaspoons of salt
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon of cornmeal for dusting
Method
Step One
Start by combining the warm water and honey until the honey completely dissolves. Then, sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it is very frothy.
Step Two
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum if your flour blend doesn’t contain it, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients until they are well mixed.
Step Three
Pour the yeast mixture, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar into the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Afterwards, add the egg whites and continue mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
Step Four
Transfer the dough onto a surface lightly dusted with some additional gluten-free flour or cornmeal. Knead the dough gently just to bring it together then divide it into eight equal portions.
Step Five
Shape each portion of dough into a roll and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Remember to leave enough gaps between the rolls for expansion.
Step Six
Lightly coat each roll with olive oil using a pastry brush and dust them with a little bit of cornmeal. Then, cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until they almost double in size.
Step Seven
When the rolls have risen sufficiently, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. When it reaches the required temperature, bake your rolls for about 20 to 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Step Eight
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Enjoy your gluten-free ciabatta rolls while they’re fresh and warm.
