I love these ciabatta rolls because they just taste like freshly baked from the bakery, without the typical gluten-free taste. Crusty airy ciabatta bread is perfect for dipping in a good olive oil. Or serve with a steaming bowl of your favorite soup.

For this recipe I used Schär Bread Mix B but you could also use another similar gluten-free flour blend.

Calories 165

Ingredients

240 g gluten-free flour mix, (e.g. Schär Mix B Bread)
8 g yeast, dried
5 g salt
1 pinch psyllium husk powder
1 pinch Xanthan gum
1/2 tsp sugar
50 g yoghurt
40 g oil, (e.g. Sunflower oil)
extra gluten-free flour, for dusting

Method

1)
Mix the yeast with the sugar in 200 g of cold water.
2)
Put the flour, salt, psyllium husks, xanthan gum, yogurt and oil in a bowl, add the yeast-water and mix with the dough hooks of a hand mixer for 1 minute at slow speed and 3 minutes at medium speed. Cover the bowl with a cloth towel and let the dough rise for 15 minutes.
3)
Gently knead the dough with a little bit of extra flour. With lightly dusted hands, flatten the dough to the thickness of a finger and divide into 8 pieces of approx. 5 x 10 cm.
4)
Take both ends of a piece of dough and twist the dough piece once. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, cover with a cloth towel, and let the rolls rise for 40 to 50 minutes.
5)
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Celsius conventional heating (top-bottom heat). Place the rolls in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

What can be substituted to make this dairy-free?

  Hi Kathleen,
  you could use a plant-based yogurt, for example soy, coconut or almond yogurt.
  Substitute 1 to 1. Enjoy!

They didn’t rise and I’m not sure what went wrong. I measured everything

  Hey Chelsae, thanks for your comment. What kind of yeast did you use? You could try fresh yeast as an alternative. I’d recommend using 21 g of fresh yeast with luke-warm water to dissolve the yeast.
