Gluten-Free Baguettes
These baguettes are AMAZING! You’d never guess they’re gluten-free! And they’re super simple to make! Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and airy on the inside – just like good bread should be! I had to make it for myself after watching Jules Shepard do a demo at the Gluten Free Allergy Expo of how to make these, and observed how thrilled everyone was with their samples (both the gluten-eating and gluten-free people alike!) I feel compelled to get the word out about these baguettes. They’re THAT GOOD!
What’s the secret? They’re made with gfJules Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour! This flour has been voted the #1 gluten-free flour for 3 years in a row from 2016-2018! It’s a wonderful blend of tapioca starch (an extract of… you guessed it – YUCA! along with potato starch, corn starch, white rice flour, corn flour and xanthan gum.
*This flour is certified gluten-free and kosher, is non-GMO, soy-free, nut-free, and made in a gluten-free facility on a Top8 allergen free line! Jules has celiac herself, which is what motivated her to create her incredibly delicious and allergen safe line of products.

Both version 1 and 2 require the following additional ingredients:
-salt (I used pink Himalayan salt because of its high mineral content)
-egg whites (flaxseed meal or chia seeds can be substituted for a vegan, egg-free version.)
-extra virgin olive oil (I used Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado oil)
–rapid rise yeast (For a yeast-free version a combination of vinegar, baking soda, and baking powder is outlined in Jules Shepard’s full recipe. See below.)
-toppings of choice (I used Trader Joe’s Onion Salt, but you can use whatever you like such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, coarse salt, you name it!)
-a clean spray bottle to spritz the dough (*the key to the crispiness of the crust!)
-plastic zip lock bag – 1 gallon size
-Optional – baguette pan (I just used a parchment lined baking pan and it came out perfect!)

Here are some step by step pics from when I made them! So easy to make!!!
Baguette dough. I used a hand mixer to blend ingredients together. 
Jules recommends placing the blended dough into an oiled plastic bag, then cutting a 1″ hole in one corner to use as a piping bag. This method worked perfectly! Check out gfJules’ video here, where she demonstrates how to pipe out the dough.
Dough was piped out onto parchment paper and three cuts were made diagonally across the loaf to allow dough to rise evenly. An egg-wash was then applied (mine is yellow because I used a whole egg, not just the whites) along with my topping of choice – Trader Joe’s Onion Salt. Feel free to top with anything you like!
While a baguette pan can be used, I baked mine right on a parchment lined baking sheet. It came out perfect!
Can you imagine how hard it was to take these pictures before getting to eat this baguette?!?! Never have I had to demonstrate such restraint! The aroma filled the house and my mouth was watering the whole time!!!
Slicing the baguette.
No need to bake 2 types of bread – one for the gluten-free eaters and another for everyone else. I assure you, this bread can be served to anyone, even your fussiest eater, and no one will know it’s gluten-free!
How do you enjoy your bread? How about with some St. Dalfour Strawberry Fruit Spread (sweetened only with fruit juice.)
Or with some Vegan Pesto and Organic Mixed Cherry Tomato Medley (both from Trader Joe’s.)
No matter how you slice it, or stack it, this bread is top notch!
