Cheddar and Beer Bread Gluten Free

Jeanine Friesen is my favorite gluten free online blogger. She runs things over at thebakingbeauties .com. I just ordered her new book on Amazon about a month ago! It is absolutely the BEST thing and I even use half of it for pizza crust.....I just place the plastic wrap over the raised dough and with my fingers press it down on the 14x14 sheet of parchment and place it on my big old cookie sheet and pre bake it for 10 minutes, take it out and cook at least 10 more minutes or until your desired doneness.

Gluten-Free Dutch Oven Cheddar and Beer Bread
Yields 2 one pound loaves

Ingredients:

1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup sorghum flour
1/4 potato starch
1 cup tapioca starch
1T xanthum gum
1 T rapid rise yeast
2 t. Salt
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions, chopped
1 t. Liquid honey (I used Agave)
1 1/3 GF beer (I used Redbridge ...you may omit and use water but it won't be the same flavor)
2 large room temp eggs, slightly beaten
3 T olive oil

In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients, cheese and onion greens

In a smaller bowl add liquids.

Mix until moistened and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, gently divide the dough into 2 and carefully do NOT break the bubbles that have formed. With wet hands shape into ball shape and loosely cover again and let set 90 more minutes.

30 minutes before baking, preheat Dutch oven in 425 degree oven. Wet knife and make 3 or 4 slashes across the top (optional)
Carefully take Dutch Oven out and place parchment with dough inside and cover with lid and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10-15 minutes until instant read thermometer reads 205 degrees.

Remove bread from Dutch oven and place on cooling rack. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.

NOTE: if you only wish to make 1 loaf, leave half the loaf in bowl, cover and place in fridge for up to 1 week. When ready to use, take out of fridge, place on parchment, shape with wet hands into ball, let rest on counter for 2 hours before baking and then bake accordingly.
