Terry's Gluten-free Herb Ciabatta Buns

(This recipe is adapted from “Eat Live Grow Paleo Gluten-free Ciabatta Buns”)

 

1 1/2 cups Terry’s Prepared Flour Blend *

3/4 cup any gluten-free baking mixes

3/4 cup tapioca flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 packages instant/rapid rise yeast

2 tablespoon olive oil and an additional 1/8 cup for use later

1 1/2 tablespoons organic Maple syrup

1 tablespoon rosemary, see note**

3 eggs lightly beaten

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

1 3/4 cups warm water (115 degrees)

 

*Note: Terry’s prepared Flour Blend contains xanthan gum.  Most flour blends DO NOT, while baking mixes do.  If you bought your flour blend at another location other than the Spice Tin, check for xanthan gum.  If not indicated on the label, add 1 ½ ts xanthan gum to the 1 ½ cups flour blend.
**Note: Use rosemary that is cut and sifted or use a mortar and pestle to make the rosemary smaller.

 

Preheat oven to 80 degrees. (Yes, only 80 degrees)  Line baking jelly sheet or baking pan with parchment paper. Combine the flours, salt, and rosemary in large mixing bowl.  Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and eggs.  Mix until combined.  Meanwhile in a separate bowl, place warm water and yeast.  Allow the mixture to sit for about 3-5 minutes.  Add yeast water, cider vinegar, and maple syrup to dry mixture.  Mix with electric mixer.  The batter should feel like cake batter.  Pour batter onto lined baking pan.  With spatula tipped in saved olive oil, fashion the batter into a rectangle.   The edges of the batter should be 1 ½ to 2 inches away from sides of the pan.  The batter will have some height to it.  With a knife, cut the batter into 8 pieces.
Place pan into oven.  Now change the oven temperature from 80 degrees to 400 degrees.  Bake 20 to 25 minutes or bread is golden brown.  The bread will rise while the oven is heating up.  Remove pan from oven. Cool.  Cut bread into 8 bun sizes that you precut.  Then cut buns lengthwise separating top and bottom using bread knife.  For storage, use wax paper to separate top and bottom piece.  They can be frozen to store.
Yields 8 buns.
