What are the little white pebbles on the bottom of an english muffin? - Quora. It is coarsely ground flour - either maize flour or semolina (made from wheat). It is sprinkled on the baking pan before the unbaked breads are put on it, to keep the gooey dough from sticking to the pan while baking.

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.

Having all ingredients at room temp is especially important when baking with yeast since it needs warmth to rise. If your ingredients are cold, that will reduce the warmth and your dough may not achieve the rise it needs.

Sorghum Flour

Sorghum lacks binding capability, so pair with an absorbent and stretchy flour or starch like tapioca. It's great in pie crusts, cakes, muffins, breads like our Best No-Knead GF Bread and Fluffy Gluten-Free Focaccia, and cookies like our Cranberry Macadamia Nut Cookies.

Eggs are natural leaveners that help boost the rise and volume of bread. Eggs also add moisture, flavor, and protein to gluten-free bread recipes.

Don't overmix: Overmixing can cause gluten-free baked goods to become tough and dry. Mix your ingredients until just combined and avoid overworking the dough. Doughs and batters tend to gelatinize the gums (xanthan & guar) in flour blends/mixes, so you could end up with a 'slimy' texture if you over do it.

Gummy on the inside- bake for a longer time. Gluten free bread takes much longer than a regular loaf to bake and therefore a sticky crumb is generally the result of under baking. It is easy to see why this can happen, gluten free bread dough needs more moisture and is often difficult to knead with conventional methods.

Gluten-free baked goods have earned the reputation of being dry and gritty. That grit—that evil grit! —is the result of gluten-free flours that are often high in starches and rice flour, which take longer to absorb moisture than regular “gluten” flour.
