Getting Started

Gluten-free doughs often require more liquid than traditional wheat doughs. Aim for a consistency similar to thick cake batter to prevent a dry, crumbly result.
Gluten-free flours lack the elastic structure of gluten. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of gluten-free flour blend to provide necessary elasticity and prevent crumbling.
For yeast breads, an internal temperature of 200-210°F (93-99°C) indicates it's fully baked. For quick breads, 190-200°F (88-93°C) is typically sufficient. Use a thermometer to confirm doneness.
Resist slicing warm gluten-free bread. It needs to cool completely on a wire rack to allow the starches to set, preventing a gummy texture and improving sliceability.
