**Gluten-Free Artisan Bread Master Recipe Bread In Five**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons instant yeast
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 2 cups warm water
– Additional gluten-free flour for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Add the warm water to the flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a sticky dough forms. Don’t worry about it being perfectly smooth; a shaggy texture is what you’re looking for.
3. Cover the bowl loosely with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature for about 2 hours. During this time, the dough will expand and may collapse slightly, which is normal.
4. After the initial rise, the dough can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. For the best flavor, allow the dough to rest in the fridge for at least 12 hours before baking.
5. When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven or a baking dish with a lid into the oven to heat up.
6. While the oven is preheating, generously dust your work surface with additional gluten-free flour. With floured hands, scoop out a portion of the dough (about the size of a grapefruit) and gently shape it into a ball.
7. Carefully transfer the dough ball onto a piece of parchment paper. Let it rest and rise for 30 minutes while the oven continues to heat.
8. Once the oven and the Dutch oven/baking dish are hot, carefully place the dough (along with the parchment paper) into the preheated container. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
9. After 30 minutes, remove the lid from the Dutch oven/baking dish and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Once baked, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your freshly baked gluten-free artisan bread with your favorite spreads or soups!
