Gluten-Free Brown Loaf
This unusual bread recipe is made with a batter, rather than by kneading a dough. Because it’s so wet, it only needs one rise. It doesn’t have a heavy chew, but it makes the perfect sandwich loaf.

Gluten-Free Galette
Xanthan gum is often used in gluten-free baking and thankfully now is much more widely available – look for it with the baking powders. The powder acts as a thickener and stabiliser, preventing ingredients from separating, mimicking properties ascribed to gluten.
