Gluten-free Boule Bread - Second Loaf

I made the second loaf of the Gluten-free Crusty Boule Bread recipe that I saw on Gluten-free Girl.  This loaf did come out different than the first one, and it was still good.  It had a bit of a sour dough flavor.  The recipe says you can refrigerate the dough for up to one week.  I had it saved for five days.  
I had an idea to form and rest the loaf on parchment paper so I didn't have to disturb the sticky mass when I transferred it to the dutch oven.  That worked out splendidly.  I still didn't get the loaf to rise as much as I wanted, but that could have been due to the yeast not being completely fresh.  I also forgot to cut slits in the top of this loaf, which may have impeded rising.  I took it camping so that my gluten-free mom and her husband could share fresh-baked bread with me.  It was a big hit.

I'm going to tea in next week with my red hat group, so will pull out your GF scone recipe again, if the hostess can't
provide one :)
Thanks for sharing your inspirations!

Your loaf looks fine. I haven't tried this recipe because it seems more complicated than it needs to be or than I have time for. I did find a great GF baguette recipe at Real Food Made Easy and it tastes delicious. I tweaked it a bit by leaving out the flax and I decreased the water because the first time I made it it came out too gummy and wet for my taste. But without the flax and with less water it's great. It's going to be my go-to bread for a while!

I discovered something by accident when I was baking the most recent batch. I had tomatoes roasting in the oven with the bread, and the moisture from the tomatoes was perfect for making a crispy crust!
