Jamie Oliver Gluten Free Bread
This recipe, inspired by Jamie Oliver’s straightforward style, is a quick yeast bread made using a gluten-free flour blend. It doesn’t require any kneading or complicated shaping. Instead, it relies on a single rise and a hot oven to create a rustic, crusty loaf with a soft, flavorful center. It’s great for toast, sandwiches, or just tearing apart while still warm.

Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend – Choose a mix that includes rice, potato, or sorghum flours
- 1 tbsp baking powder – Helps with lift and rise
- ½ tsp baking soda – Boosts browning and softness
- 1 tsp sea salt – Essential for flavor
- 2 tbsp olive oil – Adds richness and moisture
- 1½ cups plain yogurt or buttermilk (room temperature) – Keeps the crumb soft and adds tang
- ¾ cup warm water (as needed) – Adjusts dough consistency
- Optional: 1 tsp sugar or honey – Enhances taste and improves browning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your loaf pan or baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the olive oil, yogurt (or buttermilk), and a bit of warm water. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Add more water slowly if it feels too dry.
Transfer the dough into your prepared pan. Smooth the top with damp hands or a spatula.
Place the bread in the center of the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely for the best slice.
