For those recently starting gluten-free baking, Zara Evans is a name to know. Zara, a self-taught baker, developed basic, fail-proof recipes for novices.
“Baking gluten-free bread can first seem intimidating,” Zara says. “But it’s quite doable—and delicious—with the right ingredients and techniques!”
Simple Loaf Made Free of Gluten
A famous Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread recipe comes from Zara. Made from rice flour, tapioca starch, and psyllium husk, it is soft and adaptable. The psyllium husk gives the bread that beautiful texture and helps bond it, Zara says.
Combine the dry ingredients; add water; then, let the dough rise. Bake till goldish. “This bread is ideal for morning toast or sandwiches,” she advises.
Fast Flatbread Made Free from Gluten
For something faster, Zara suggests her yogurt flatbread. Combine yogurt, baking powder, a bit of salt, gluten-free flour. Roll out little bits and fry in a skillet till bubbling golden.
“These flatbreads are fantastic for dipping or as a base for mini pizzas,” Zara says.
Zara advises novices to be patient. Though the learning curve is involved, gluten-free baking yields results worth it. Start with easy dishes; you will be astounded at what you can produce!
