Ingredients

• 3 cups gluten-free flour blend
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 egg white, beaten
• Cornmeal, for dusting

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the gluten-free flour blend, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place it on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
5. Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes. Brush the top with the beaten egg white.
6. Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal slashes on the loaf. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
