An easy, healthy, and delicious gluten-free artisan bread (boule) made with a combination of brown rice, buckwheat, almond, and tapioca flours. This beautiful yeasted bread will impress the pickiest of guests!
This gorgeous boule is so easy and so tasty, that it’s genuinely hard to believe that it is gluten-free.
This delightful bread is incredibly easy to prepare and the dough works like a dream. Shape it, let it rise, pop it in the oven and you have one impressive gluten-free artisan bread!
Once you try it, I guarantee it will become a staple served alongside your favorite meals! You can easily customize the flavors by mixing in some spices like my baharat spice. It is also great topped with some air fryer roasted tomatoes. This boule is a same-day yeasted loaf. If you’d rather build flavor slowly with a sourdough starter instead, my gluten-free sourdough starter recipe walks you through getting one going.

I really enjoy this bread and have made it a couple times now. I pretty much follow the recipe, except I use coarse cornmeal in place of the polenta because it’s what I usually have on hand. I also start the bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes and then go down to 350 until it’s done. I bake it on parchment paper inside of a cast iron skillet. The bread is a bit on the crumbly side, but I like the texture. The flavor is really nice too.
Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate the feedback and I’m so happy you enjoy the recipe. 🙂
