Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Brown rice flour
• 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Hop pellets

Directions

Step 1

In a small dish, mix the hop pellets with about 1/4 cup of the warm water to allow them to dissolve slightly, then set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, sugar, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

Step 3

Add the instant yeast to the flour mixture and stir again.

Step 4

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the remaining warm water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 5

Pour the water and oil mixture into the dry ingredients. Then add the dissolved hops and its liquid.

Step 6

Using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until ingredients are blended. Increase the speed to medium and mix for about 5 minutes until you have a smooth dough.

Step 7

Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough into this bowl and cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a round ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart to allow room for rising.

Step 10

Cover the dough balls loosely with a towel and let them rise again for another 15-20 minutes.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve as desired and enjoy your gluten-free hops bread!
