This easy 3-ingredient gluten-free french baguette recipe gives three beautifully crusty loaves that taste just like the real thing! Perfect for a dinner side, sandwiches, or snacking. Vegan.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups (500 grams) gluten-free flour** (I used Pamela’s All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
  • 2 ¼ cup lukewarm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix gluten-free flour, yeast, and salt with a whisk.

  2. 2

    Mix in the water: Add lukewarm water in ¼-½ cup increments, stirring with a wooden spoon between increments.

  3. 3

    First Rise: Cover with plastic wrap or equivalent and let rise undisturbed for 8-20 hours in a warm location (I usually do overnight by the window in summer, or on the kitchen counter). 

  4. 4

    Form Baguettes and second rise: Generously flour your hands and the silicon baking mold. Keep extra flour nearby to re-coat your hands whenever the dough gets sticky. Using your hands, shape the dough into three baguettes of equal size in the silicon mold.* Set the mold on a baking sheet to stabilize. Cover with a towel and allow to rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

  5. 5

    Score: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Using a sharp paring knife or kitchen scissors, score the baguettes.

  6. 6

    Bake: Place an oven-safe bowl or deep pan filled with two boiling cups of water on a lower rack in the oven. Place the tray of baguettes on the upper shelf and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the water bath and bake for 30-40 minutes more or until the crust is thick and browning.
