What You’ll Need
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
- 1 package (2.25 teaspoons) Dry Yeast
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 1/4 cups Warm Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Method
Step One
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 package (2.25 teaspoons) of dry yeast, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed.
Step Two
In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of warm water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 3 eggs, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix these wet ingredients thoroughly until you have a smooth mixture.
Step Three
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a large spoon or an electric mixer to blend the ingredients together until a dough forms.
Step Four
Once you have a firm dough, knead it with your hands for about 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. The dough should be smooth and elastic when it’s ready.
Step Five
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. The dough should double in size.
Step Six
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any trapped air. Then, form the dough into your desired shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step Seven
Bake the dough in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for about 30-35 minutes. The bread is done when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Step Eight
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Paillasse!
