Recently I shared a recipe for gluten free White Sandwich Bread(link to previous post) made in a bread machine. I wanted to see if I used the same basic recipe but changed the technique in the way it is baked if the recipe would still work.
Well it did!
I am thrilled!
Basically this bread is baked in a cast iron Dutch Oven. I used my 6 quart Le Crueset one for my bread but you can use a 4 quart one also. The most important part is making sure you have the lid to cover it. The high heat ensures a nice crust on the bread too.
Enjoy!
