Method

1. Combine the Glutafin Gluten Free Flour Mix and yeast together in a medium size bowl with a fork. Stir in remaining dry ingredients. Add water and oil and stir to make a smooth stiff batter

2. Combine chosen gluten free filling ingredients together and stir half of the combined mixture into the bread batter. Spoon into a 23cm/9" greased square baking tin, and top with the remaining filling. Cover with oiled cling film

3. Leave to prove in a warm place for 45 minutes until the mixture has risen by half. Remove film and bake in a pre-heated oven until the bread is crisp and golden in colour

4. Serve warm in squares. Once cool store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to three days. Warm before eating for best results

 

Gluten Free Wheat Free option:
Use 375g/13oz of Glutafin Gluten Free Wheat Free Multipurpose White Mix and all ingredients except Caster sugar or Skimmed milk powder. Proving time is 1 hour.  

 

If you have any left over, serve the bread with dipping oil. Combine balsamic vinegar, a pinch of mixed dried herbs and olive oil and serve in a small bowl accompanied by squares of warm flatbread. Gluten Free Flatbread is also delicious served with houmous or any savoury dips
