Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, but who doesn’t love a bit of healthy fat?)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and olive oil. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat up.
Once the dough has risen, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven and pour the dough into it.
Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

How to make No Knead Gluten Free Bread (Overview)

Making this bread is as simple as pie (or should I say, loaf?)! Start by mixing your dry ingredients in one bowl and your wet ingredients in another. Once the yeast starts bubbling, combine everything and let it rise—because nobody likes flat bread! After its cozy nap, pop it into a hot Dutch oven and let the heat work its magic. Pro tip: Skip the kneading and just keep an eye on the clock—easy peasy!

How to serve No Knead Gluten Free Bread

Now, how do you enjoy your masterpiece? This bread pairs beautifully with:

Homemade soups for that classic dip combo.
Avocado slices topped with a sprinkle of salt and chili flakes, making it a perfect brunch dish.
Warm butter melting on top, oozing into every nook and cranny.

How to store No Knead Gluten Free Bread

If you manage to resist eating it all at once (though I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t), store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, just pop it in the freezer! Want to reheat it? Simply throw a slice in the toaster or warm it in the oven for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.

Tips to make No Knead Gluten Free Bread

Use warm water, not hot! Scalding water will hinder yeast activation (sad face).
Want it fluffier? Add a bit of psyllium husk to enhance the texture.
Keep a watchful eye on your dough while it rises; the temperature in your kitchen can affect its puffiness.

Variation

Looking to mix things up? Try adding:

Herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
Seeds such as sunflower or poppy seeds for a delightful crunch.
To make it vegan, simply skip the olive oil; the bread will still be fabulous!
