Waiting for bread to rise is a time-consuming process - if you forget to account for it when planning your cooking time, you might get caught in a bind. If you have an instant pot, you can significantly lower the amount of time you need to let your bread rise or proof.

Their tight-fitting lids, which can be left on during the baking process, trap steam within the pot. Trapping the steam will give you the perfect shiny crust every time.

For the best results, you'll want to preheat your Dutch oven before placing your dough inside. This will ensure that as soon as the baking process starts, steam will be created from the moisture in the dough without waiting for the pot to warm.

You'll find that home-cooked bread cooked in an enameled cast iron Dutch oven will turn out looking like a loaf from the artisan bakery, with a beautifully airy and fluffy interior topped by a golden crust with the crunch and crackle you'd expect from a professional bakery's bread.

With cast iron, bread dough, and the right amount of time, you'll be baking the best-looking and tasting bread you've ever tried.

Dutch Oven Bread

If you find that your dough is sticking to the interior surface of your Dutch oven, or it's proving difficult to remove once baked, causing tearing, you can remedy this by preparing the surface before use, or you can line your Dutch oven with parchment paper.

Coat the inside with a thin layer of vegetable oil using a paper towel or pastry brush, or use an oil spray to cover the interior evenly. Once you have covered the inside with oil, sprinkle a small amount of cornflour or semolina flour around the sides and bottom of the pot.

You may find that this causes a small amount of smoking as you bring the pan up to temperature - don't worry, that's normal. If there's a significant amount of smoke, you may want to ensure you haven't over oiled the surface, added too much flour, or added it in a way that caused it to form clumps.

My Mother's Best, No Knead Peasant Bread Recipe

Bread baking, with yeast and the doubling of dough included, transformed the way I looked at my relationship with cooking and baking. It taught me what being self-sufficient was about, and broke the barrier I had in my mind about so many things.

The first time I made a loaf of yeast-leavened bread, watching the dough rise and seeing the air-bubbles formed to give the bread height left me in awe.

It was nothing short of a miracle, and after that first loaf, I fell in love with cooking so much more. I also realized that if I could bake bread, which seemed scary and difficult before I’d tried my hand at it, it meant I could also do so many other things.

Gluten Free Sourdough Bread Recipe

Bread baking generally takes a rather large amount of time (unless you’re talking about quick breads), and the act of baking bread is not something you should attempt if you’re in a hurry or lacking in patience.

I find that the best time to bake your own bread is when you know you have nowhere to rush to, and that the dough can take all the time it needs to rise.

Which is precisely why during this special period, when we have been spending an extraordinary amount of time at home, I’ve returned to baking yeasted bread again. With the luxury of time to slow down, relax and return to the kitchen to test out recipes again, I was intent on making a gluten-free version of the perfect artisan loaf.

No Knead Bread Recipe

Whisk the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if using), tapioca starch, and salt together in a medium bowl until the ingredients are well distributed.

(Tip: You should start see bubbles at the surface. If not, it means the yeast has expired and is not working, so you will need to use yeast from a new packet.)

Once the yeast mixture starts to form bubbles, add the oil, apple cider vinegar, beaten eggs and whisk well until you get a homogeneous yellow frothy liquid.

Dutch Oven No Knead Bread (with Perfect Crusty Crust!)

Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly for a few minutes until you get a dough that is sticky but not too liquid.

(Tip: If the dough is too wet, add one tablespoon of gluten-free flour at a time, but do not add too much. Gluten-free bread dough will always be a little wetter than normal bread dough, and it is perfectly fine.)

Sprinkle gluten-free flour over a sheet of parchment paper and transfer the dough to the parchment. Use a wet hands or wet fingers to gently shape the dough into the a ball that can fit a6-quart Dutch oven. Transfer the parchment with the dough to a bowl and cover with a tea towel to let it rise for approximately 45 minutes in a draft-free, warm place.

While the gluten-free artisan bread dough rises, preheat the oven to 450F and place a covered6-quart Dutch ovenin the hot oven as the dough rises.

Once the dough has risen, use a gluten-free floured knife to score three lines on the top of the loaf and sprinkle the surface with some flour. Carefully transfer both the risen dough together with the parchment to the preheated Dutch oven and cover it with the lid.

Bake for 45 minutes before removing the lid, and then bake for another 15 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and crusty.

Gluten Free Artisan Bread

Allow the fresh loaf of bread to cool completely at room temperature before slicing into it (this is important as the bread will continue cooking with the residual heat).

To store the bread, simply place the fully-cooled loaf in an airtight container or wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Slice and toast as required.

To freeze, place the fully-cooled loaf in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Let the frozen loaf thaw completely overnight in the refrigerator before slicing and toasting.

Gluten Free Crusty Bread

Basically, placing the bread dough in a covered Dutch oven during the first part of baking helps the bread dough to retain moisture and to rise even more as it bakes. This is known as “oven spring”, in which bread dough experiences its final burst of rising just after being placed in the oven and before the crust fully hardens.
