The Gluten Free Inside Scoop

Gluten Free Ciabatta - the only time we WANT holes in glute free bread

Gluten Free Ciabatta Rolls

About a year ago, or so, I started messing with Gluten Free Ciabatta Rolls and just couldn't get them right. The crumb was dense, the flavor flat, and no matter what I tried, they just didn’t have that signature ciabatta vibe. So, after a few too many disappointing batches, I benched the idea and moved on. I told myself, maybe ciabatta just isn’t meant to be gluten-free.

A few days ago, I stumbled across my old notes and had a moment: “You are seriously overthinking this.” Ciabatta is supposed to be simple - just a handful of ingredients, no fancy tools, no stress. And honestly? I knew I could figure it out if I just got out of my own way.

And guess what? I did.

Happy to share Gluten Free Ciabatta is new on the website. It’s light, airy, and has that signature open crumb and chewy texture you'd expect from a classic ciabatta. The crust bakes up beautifully crisp and golden, with a rustic, artisan-style look that makes it look like something straight from a bakery.

This recipe makes 4 good-sized ciabatta rolls. Yes, you can double the recipe, but as always, I recommend making it as written first and then doubling it the next time.

I can’t wait for local tomato season to start because these rolls will 1000% make the best BLTs and Caprese Sandwiches EVER! (Good thing I planted all that basil)

I use Caputo Fioreglut for this recipe. As mentioned before, I found the best price for this flour is via Brickovenbaker.com (they often have coupons, free shipping over $35 and if you use a lot of Caputo, the 4 pack is the best deal!)

What to bake this week

Gluten Free Pizza Dough: Unlike many other recipes, my gluten free pizza dough recipe makes enough for one 10” pizza. Perfect for a party of one ;)

Gluten Free Oreo Cookie Cake: Baked in a loaf pan, this gluten free oreo cookie cake is packed with gluten free oreos and topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting. Small Batch Recipe with big flavors!

Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Cake: It’s soft, tender, and full of bright citrus flavor, with just the right amount of crunch from the poppy seeds. The sweet-tangy lemon glaze ties everything together beautifully, making it nearly impossible to stop at just one slice.

Gluten Free Dog Treats: They’re made with simple, dog-safe ingredients and baked until perfectly crunchy - just the way my dogs like them! Since they don’t have any preservatives, I know exactly what’s going into each batch plus they are pretty easy and affordable to make.

Gluten Free Marble Cake (Marmorkuchen): It is a buttery, lighty-sweetened no-fuss cake and one of my personal favorites. Probably because growing up I could never decide if I prefer chocolate flavor or vanilla and Marmorkuchen is the best of both worlds.

Happy Sunday and Happy Baking!
