Thank You for Choosing Our Gluten-Free Bread Kits!
Hi, I'm Amy Civica, The Kitchen Fairy. I'm thrilled to be part of your bread-baking journey. With this kit, you're just a few easy steps away from fresh, homemade, gluten-free bread that tastes as good as it looks. Let's face it—baking is a science experiment disguised as food prep, and some of us would rather skip the lab coat. That's why I've done all the heavy lifting with this simplified bread recipe. You get the joy of fresh bread without needing a Ph.D. in gluten-free chemistry. Whether you're a baking pro or avoiding the kitchen whenever possible, this recipe has you covered—simple, quick, and delicious.
HINT: Read the instructions first, then watch this video for extra pointers.
Let's dive in! Scroll down for instructions, and don't forget to check out the video for a step-by-step guide.
What You'll Need
Ingredients & Tools
GF Bread Kit
Your Kitchen Fairy's Secret Weapon!
See Ingredient List HERE
Olive Oil
1.5 Tbsp
Sugar
1 Tbsp sugar
(See Video for Explanation)
Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tbsp
Water
2.5 Cups
Room Tempature
Equipment
1 Medium Bowl
1 Stand Mixer with Dough Hook
1 - 8-inch Loaf Pan (Or a 9.5-inch, if that’s what you’ve got!)
Instructions
1. Activate Your Psyllium Husk:
Open the kit and remove the psyllium husk powder. Pour the powder into a medium bowl and add the room-temperature water. Whisk quickly; this stuff thickens fast, so don’t let the whisk get stuck in the goop. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to set.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
Pour the rest of the kit contents into your stand mixer, and add the sugar you choose. Use a spoon to stir them first (avoid the flour cloud effect!) gently. You’re just setting the stage for the mixer here.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients:
Form a small well in the middle of the dry mix. Pour in your oil, vinegar, and the psyllium husk mix (it’s like magic glue).
4. Time to Knead:
Attach the dough hook, turn on the mixer at low speed, and let the hook pull the dry into the wet. Slowly increase the speed. Knead for 12–15 minutes until it all comes together in a doughy ball.
*Pro tip: Over-mixing isn’t a concern, so let it go as needed!
5. Shape Your Loaf:
Lightly flour or oil your hands, scoop up the dough, and shape it into a loaf. You can do this on a floured counter or straight in your hands if you’re feeling bold.
6. Let it Rise:
Place the dough in your loaf pan and cover loosely with plastic. Set it somewhere warm to rise—an oven with just the light on works well. Let it double in size, about an hour.
7. Preheat & Prep for Steam:
Set your oven to 425°F (make sure your proofing loaf is not inside). While heating, prepare a steam bath by filling an oven-safe container with boiling water. Place it on the oven’s bottom rack (trust me, this makes all the difference in your loaf’s texture).
8. Optional Golden Top:
For a golden, professional-looking crust, whisk one egg with a teaspoon of water and brush it on the loaf.
9. Scoring for more
“Oven Spring”:
For a golden, professional-looking crust, whisk one egg with a teaspoon of water and brush it on the loaf.
10. Bake & Steam:
Place your loaf and steam bath in the oven, immediately lower the temp to 400°F, and set a timer for 15 minutes.
11. Finish Baking:
When your 15 minutes is up, remove the water container and bake the bread for another 30 minutes.
12. Cool Completely:
Take the bread out of the oven and and remove it from the pan as soon as possible. Let it cool entirely on a rack before slicing. Slice too soon, and you’ll have a doughy center—trust me, it’s worth the wait!
More Fun Ideas
Let's Get Creative!
Seeded Bread
Add a nutty, crunchy twist by mixing in 150 grams of your favorite seeds (sunflower, sesame, chia, or a mix) after the wet and dry ingredients are fully combined. The result? A hearty, satisfying loaf that’s perfect for snacking or topping with butter!
Dinner Rolls
Want a crowd-pleasing side for your next meal? Divide the dough into 6-8 equal balls, shape them into rolls, and bake them to golden perfection. These fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth rolls will be the star of any dinner table!
Cranberry Walnut Bread
For a sweet and savory treat, stir 1 tsp of cinnamon into the dry ingredients, then fold in ½ cup walnuts and ½ cup dried cranberries once the wet and dry ingredients are fully incorporated. This combo gives you a perfect balance of warm spice, nutty crunch, and sweet tartness.
Pita Bread
Pita lovers, rejoice! For the perfect puff, divide the dough into small portions and roll them into discs. For best results, use a baking stone or steel to achieve that authentic airy texture and irresistible pocket in the middle. Ready for hummus or whatever your heart desires!
Baguettes
Craving something a little fancier? Split your dough into two equal parts, shape them into elongated loaves, and bake like a pro! A baguette pan works wonders here, but if you’re flying without one, you can use rolled-up towels to support the loaves on a baking sheet.
Get Creative
Feel free to get creative with your variations — each of these options is just a starting point for even more delicious possibilities!
Storing & Enjoying Your Bread
Enjoy the fresh loaf for 1–2 days. For longer freshness, store in the fridge for up to a week. It’s amazing toasted and topped with all your favorites.
