Gluten Free Baguettes

The Gluten Free French Bread You Crave

Hi Friends,

Last year when our family took a trip to Paris, I asked my sons what they were hoping to do while they were in France.

My youngest son had an immediate answer. “I want to walk down the street with one of those sticks of bread, and then take a big bite of it.”

Me too buddy, me too.

For a celiac that was a tall order, even in Paris. We did find some AMAZING bakeries that honestly made us all catch our breath. (Side note- anyone interested in hearing about where we ate in Paris? Hit reply and let me know if you’d like that write up!)

But we don’t live in Paris. And I still want to walk around with a baguette sticking out of my chic market bag. What to do? Obviously, this recipe is the answer!

I’ve designed this recipe to be as simple as possible. It uses a gluten free off the shelf flour blend - I have suggestions of what has worked well in this post and in the recipe I’ve added a couple of new brand suggestions as well.

There is a tiny bit of oil in the recipe - not traditional in baguette recipes… but neither are any of the other ingredients, such is the gluten free life!

The method uses a fast rising time, but I did test letting the dough rise in the refrigerator so that you can plan ahead, it worked out great!

The shaping is simple, but if it’s not QUITE how you hoped at first, don’t hesitate to stop and try it again, you won’t hurt the dough by overhandling it, one of the benefits of gluten free! I love the shaping video in

Do you have your butter and salt ready to go? Because after these are baked, that’s all you need!
