<\/p>\n
This past week I got together with 3 enthusiastic bread bakers.\u00a0 I’d brought two buckets of dough to work with; the master recipe from ABin5 <\/a>and the gluten-free brioche from HBin5<\/a>. From those two buckets we baked everything from an epi <\/a>and sticky buns to flatbreads like pita<\/a>, pizza<\/a> and naan.\u00a0Out of a request for quick breakfast ideas to feed their kids (some of whom are on gluten-free diets) we experimented with making the gluten-free brioche into a naan. Rolled out in sugar and fried up in butter it was fantastic. The brioche cooked in this way had a crisp caramel coating with an almost pudding like interior. It was so good and easy that it got me thinking about making a more traditional version of naan with the gluten-free crusty boule dough I had left over. It was every bit as delicious as the naan made with our wheat doughs<\/a> and still as quick.<\/p>\n I also experimented with freezing the gluten-free doughs. Several of you had wondered if this was a possibility since we only recommend refrigerating it for 5-7 days. At the bottom of this post you will see how that experiment turned out.<\/p>\n Gluten-Free Naan:<\/p>\n 8-ounce piece of gluten-free crusty boule dough<\/a><\/p>\n 1 tablespoon Ghee<\/a>, clarified butter or European style butter (You can use regular butter, but you have to be careful of the butter burning. The ghee and clarified butter have a higher burning point and allow you to cook without worry of it burning.)<\/p>\n Brown Rice Flour <\/a>for dusting the surface of the silpat and pizza peel<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the g-f dough you will need to roll the naan out on a Silicone Baking Mat<\/a> that is sprinkled with brown rice flour. This method is also used for rolling out the pizza in the book.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I used a piece of dough that was about the size of my fist. This turned out to be the perfect size when fried in my 10 1\/2 inch Skillet<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n sprinkle the dough with a bit more rice flour and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gently pat the dough into a disk…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n you may have to pat the sides to round them off.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Peel back the plastic and sprinkle with a bit more flour so that the plastic won’t stick as your roll it thinner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Replace the plastic and roll the disk to scant 1\/8-inch thick.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n peel off the plastic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Carefully transfer the dough to a Pizza Peel<\/a> that is lightly coated with rice flour.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
