In a small dish, mix the hop pellets with about 1/4 cup of the warm water to allow them to dissolve slightly, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, sugar, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
Add the instant yeast to the flour mixture and stir again.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the remaining warm water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the water and oil mixture into the dry ingredients. Then add the dissolved hops and its liquid.
Using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until ingredients are blended. Increase the speed to medium and mix for about 5 minutes until you have a smooth dough.
Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough into this bowl and cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a round ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart to allow room for rising.
Cover the dough balls loosely with a towel and let them rise again for another 15-20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve as desired and enjoy your gluten-free hops bread!
