Calories 160kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup warm water 105 - 110 degrees Fahrenheit
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 egg room temperature
- 7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- For topping: Fresh or dried rosemary, flaky salt, fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the water in a small dish or measuring cup and stir in sugar and yeast. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture is foamy.
- While the yeast is resting, mix together flour, xanthan gum, rosemary, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
- Add the liquid to the flour mixture, and beat well in a stand mixer for 3 to 4 minutes. The dough should come together, but will remain sticky.
- Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper, and transfer the dough to the pan. Using flour coated hands, carefully press the dough down into the pan.
- Brush with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper.
- Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack. Cut into wedges and serve.
- This bread is best served fresh, but may be frozen and reheated.
