gluten free dairy free baguette and english muffin recipe


I have been working on bread dough recipes the last couple of weeks. Bread recipes are definitely lacking on my blog and I knew I had to challenge myself and try to come up with some.
Baking gluten free bread here in Calgary is definitely a challenge.
Not only are we near the mountains, we are fairly high up in altitude and we also have no humidity. Those reasons I find make baking gluten free bread more of a challenge for me.
One of the things I have kinda figured out is you definitely need to mix the yeast separately with warm milk and let it rest and grow.
That helps a lot.
I have also found that I need to add more liquid to my doughs. It does look weird to me to have a bread dough look more like cake batter than dough but that is gluten free.
I baked full-on gluten bread almost everyday when my kids were younger and that dough was a delight to work with.
Gluten Free is now my world and I am learning to embrace it rather than fight it!
I have made this recipe a few times now and it can easily be made into a bread loaf.

If you want to make english muffins you will need some metal rings.
I found these ones in a small kitchen store.

  • Cover loosely with saran wrap and then a tea towel.
  • Place the pans in a warm spot in house and let rise for an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake english muffins in oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until lightly brown.
  • Bake baguette in oven for 35-40 minutes until lightly brown.
  • If making a loaf of bread bake in oven for 50-60 minutes until you tap loaf and it sounds hollow.
  • Let cool on counter before slicing.
  • Enjoy!
