Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 cup Brown rice flour (see note)
1/2 tsp Granular yeast
2 tsp Sugar
1/4 cup Warm water (110 degrees F.)
4 lrg Egg whites, at room temperature
1 tbl Olive oil
12 x Oil-cured black olives, pitted and roughly chopped
4 tsp Dried rosemary, or to taste
1 x Egg yolk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon water
1 lrg Garlic clove, peeled, cut in 3 pieces
1/2 cup Corn flour (see note)
1/2 cup Cornstarch
2 tsp Xanthan gum powder
Instructions:
Instructions: Stir together 1/2 cup of the rice flour, the yeast, sugar and 1/2 cup of the warm water in a 2-cup glass measure. Let rest in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 10 minutes.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and draw two 8 inch circles on it (use a cake pan as a guide).

Beat egg whites lightly, add olive oil, chopped olives and 2 teaspoons of the rosemary; set aside.

Combine garlic and egg yolk; set aside. (Garlic will perfume the glaze but wont burn in the oven, as chopped garlic would.)

Combine remaining 1 cup rice flour, the corn flour, corn- starch, xanthan gum powder and salt in bowl.

Add remaining 3/4 cup warm water to egg white-olive mixture a stir into flour. Stir in yeast mixture and beat until smooth.

Using a rubber spatula, spread soft dough into 8-inch circles marked on the parchment paper heaping it up slightly in the middle. Cover loaves with lightly greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Discard garlic and brush egg glaze over loaves. Sprinkle tops with remaining 2 teaspoons rosemary. Using a razor blade, slash tops of loaves into a large diamond grid pattern. (Use an up-and-down cutting motion rather than dragging the blade through the soft dough.)

Bake for 20 minutes, until well browned.

Makes two 8-inch diameter, 11-ounce loaves.

Note: Brown rice flour and corn flour may be found in some health food stores and Rainbow Groceries.
