    Easy Gluten Free Christmas Recipes

    These easy gluten free Christmas recipes are perfect for parties or gatherings at home. I've got you covered for appetizers, dinner, desserts and snacks. This collection of my best Christmas recipes range from healthy to decadent treats. There are lots of delicious Christmas cookies and cake recipes too!

    two white plates with a bundle of silver ware with a white napkin, twine and a pine cone next to white candles and a stick with an evergreen branch attached to it and a gift wrapped in green wrapping paper with a gold bow

    These easy gluten free Christmas recipes are perfect for the holiday season. I serve these to family who aren't gluten free and they don't even notice! I've included options for your meal, dessert and breakfast ideas.

    If you are preparing any of these recipes for your gluten free family or friends please remember that cross contamination can be a real issue. I think it's easiest to make the gluten free recipes first and then make your regular recipes that include gluten next. This will ensure that you don't use measuring cups, bowls, etc. that may have gluten on them.

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Ingredients

    • Sourdough Starter
    • Butter
    • Honey
    • Milk
    • Gluten Free Flour
    • Potato Starch or Tapioca Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Salt
    • Pecans
    • Dried Cranberries
    • Ground Cinnamon

    Instructions

    Grease your bread pan with coconut oil or butter. Set aside.

    In the microwave or on the stovetop heat your milk just until it's warm to the touch. You don't want it too hot!

    In the bowl of your stand mixer add the sourdough starter, melted butter, honey and warm milk. Blend together.

    Add the potato starch or tapioca starch, gluten free flour, baking powder, salt, pecans, dried cranberries and cinnamon. Blend just until ingredients begin to mix together. Remove from the stand mixer and gently fold any ingredients left on the bottom of the bowl into the mixture with a spatula.

    The dough will be very sticky. You don't want to knead or overwork the dough. This sticky texture will let the bread rise nicely.

    Spoon the dough into your greased bread pan. Cover the bread pan with a plate or platter and let it rest in a warm area for 6-8 hours. I like to mix my dough up at night before I go to bed and let it proof overnight and then bake in the morning.

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

    Bake the bread for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. The top will be very lightly browned and the sides will be a little darker brown. This is a light bread and will not get really brown on top.

    Let the bread stand in the pan for at least 10 minutes to cool before you turn it out onto a plate or platter to finish cooling.

    Once the bread has completely cooled slice it into pieces and store it in a sealed container.

    Depending on how warm your house is it will last on the counter for 3-4 days. If you aren't going to use it in that amount of time place it in the fridge where it should last 5-7 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is regular sourdough bread safe for a gluten free diet?

    No. Regular sourdough is made with gluten based wheat flour. The fermenting process of sourdough does not change that there is gluten in the recipe. Only gluten free sourdough is safe for people with Celiacs or gluten allergies.

    Why isn't my gluten free sourdough bread rising?

    It could be that your starter is weak. This means it hasn't fermented enough. It may need more time or moved to a warmer spot.

    It could also be over proofing. This means you've left the dough out in the pan covered for too long. I proof for 6-8 hours and have good results with that. If you're proofing longer the dough may be raising and deflating before it makes it to the oven.
