Easy No-Knead Gluten-Free Bread (low-fluoride)

Jul 12, 2022 · 7 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is the easiest gluten-free bread recipe you will ever make AND it tastes delicious! It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which makes it perfect for avocado toasts, sandwiches, bread crumbs, and croutons. Did I mention it's only four ingredients?

If you're gluten-free, I bet you miss the crunchy bread available at local bakeries. This bread tastes just like the bread you can buy at bakeries, but it's gluten-free and low-fluoride if you use distilled water. Before making this bread, I had never had or made homemade bread before. And, let me just say, homemade bread is so much better than storebought.

This bread takes three hours to make, and most of that time is rising time. Plus, there's no need to knead the bread so your counters can stay clean!

  • Easy No-Knead Gluten-Free Bread (low-fluoride)

Ingredients

  • Caputo Gluten-Free Flour: This flour is AMAZING and the only gluten-free flour I use for this recipe. It tastes fantastic and I don't have to worry about fluoride contamination because it is made in Italy.
  • Caputo Active Dry Yeast: This is the only yeast I use for this recipe and it turns out every time.
  • Distilled Warm Water: If you want to make this recipe low in fluoride, you MUST use either distilled water or water that does not contain fluoride.
  • Redmond Real Salt: the only salt I use because it is fluoride-free.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Add flour, yeast, and salt to a large bowl. Mix the dry ingredients until combined.

Pour warm distilled water over the mixture and use the handle of a wooden spoon.

Once the dough is completely mixed, cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and place in a dry, warm area. Let rise for 2 hours.

Remove the cover after 2 hours. The bread dough should have doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Prepare a Dutch oven by lining it with parchment paper.

Scoop the dough into the dutch oven so it's resting on top of the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to score the bread.

Cover the dutch oven with its top and bake in the hot oven for 45 minutes on the middle rack. After 45 minutes, remove the top and bake for 15 more minutes. The top should be golden brown.

Remove the bread from the oven and use the parchment paper to lift the bread out of the dutch oven. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.

Wrap the bread in plastic wrap and store it in a ziplock bag at room temperature for up to seven days.

Hint: A wooden spoon is the best tool to use if you're hand mixing the dough (which I recommend). Find my favorite wooden spoon HERE.

Variations

  • Rosemary - add 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary to the dough before letting it rise.

Equipment

  • Glass mixing bowls - are a great alternative to plastic mixing bowls that can be toxic.
  • Wooden spatula - a non-toxic alternative to spatulas.
  • Dutch Oven - a must-have for breadmaking.
  • A piece of parchment paper - to line the dutch oven.

Storage

Wrap the bread in plastic wrap and store it in a ziplock bag at room temperature for up to seven days. You can also freeze the bread in a freezer-safe ziplock bag for up to three months.

What makes this recipe low in fluoride?

I use distilled water in this recipe so the bread is very low in fluoride. Most bread is made using water that contains fluoride so bread is usually a high-fluoride food. 

FAQ

Do I have to use Caputo's Gluten-Free Flour?

I have not had success using any other gluten-free flour in this recipe. Caputo's Gluten-Free Flour is the same price as King Arthur's flour on Amazon right now.

Is gluten-free bread better for you?

If you're sensitive to gluten, then gluten-free bread will be better for you.

Does this bread contain dairy?

This bread contains NO DAIRY. It's perfect for those who are avoiding dairy.

How much prep time is required to make this bread?

The active time in this recipe is about 15 minutes. Most of the time the bread is either rising or baking.

How do I know when the bread is done baking?

The top should be golden brown and hard to the touch.

Do I need to add xanthan gum to gluten-free bread recipes?

Xanthan gum is not needed in this recipe.

Can I use a bread machine to make gluten-free bread?

A bread machine is not necessary for this recipe. That's why I love this gluten-free bread recipe! I don't want to use a bread machine to make my weekly bread.

Top tip

A wooden spoon is the best tool to use if you're hand mixing the dough (which I recommend).

    So easy and turned out so well! I'm amazing. I used the Caputo flour from Amazon. Only homemade gluten free bread that's turned out for me.

    Do I need to shape the dough into a round loaf?

      You can just flip it from the bowl to the dutch oven. As long as it's in a relatively round shape it will be good!

    Delicious bread. After mixing, I let the dough rise right in the dutch oven, which keeps the dough from losing some of its rise when it's scooped into the dutch oven. Great crust, great fluffiness, and great taste.

    Can you let the bread rise on the parchment paper in the duch oven to eliminate handling it and cause it to fall.
