Gluten-Free White Bread

thejoybird's Note:

Dan Lepard's uses psyllium husk in his recipe for gluten-free bread. It turns out kinda like a french loaf. Hands down the best GF bread I've ever had.

6. Shape into rolls or into a baton for a tin loaf.
7. Cover and leave for an hour and a half, until almost doubled.
8. Gluten-free dough doesn't have spring, so a very hot oven helps -
9. 245C (220C fan-assisted)/475F/gas mark 9.
10. Brush the top of the dough with oil and
11. bake for 25 minutes (rolls) or 50 minutes (large tin loaf).

13. Leave to cool on a wire rack, covered with a cloth
14. this helps keep the bread soft.
