Cross-Contamination Warning for Gluten-Free Cassava Flour Baguette: When preparing this baking recipe, bakery baguettes are made with flour that contains gluten, and their crumbs travel on shared bread boards and knives. Rolling pins, boards and dough scrapers hold flour in their grain and edges. Use parchment or a freshly washed nonporous surface. Flour dust travels. Bake this on a day the kitchen is not also handling flour that contains gluten, use clean bowls, beaters and baking sheets, and keep the gluten-free flour blend in its own sealed container.
Gluten-Free Notes for Gluten-Free Cassava Flour Baguette: Cassava flour, tapioca starch and brown rice flour are naturally free of gluten and replace flour that contains gluten, with psyllium husk providing structure. Use cassava flour, starch, rice flour, psyllium and yeast labeled gluten-free.

Instructions
Tips & Notes
- Pour hot water into the preheated pan below the baguettes. The steam keeps the crust soft long enough for the loaves to rise, then lets it turn crackly.
- Use a very sharp knife or razor and slash quickly at a shallow angle. Gluten-free baguette dough drags if you cut slowly.
- Revive a day-old cassava baguette by misting it with water and warming it at 375°F for 6-8 minutes.
