- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, yeast, and salt.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a baking stone or baking sheet in the oven.
- Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 2 equal portions. Shape each portion into a baguette.
- Place the baguettes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Slash the tops of the baguettes with a sharp knife or razor blade.

Notes
For a crispier crust, place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven during baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
