Description

A soft, fluffy gluten-free bread with perfect texture and taste, ideal for sandwiches or toast. Made with a blend of gluten-free flours and xanthan gum for optimal rise and structure.


Ingredients

2.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)

0.25 cup powdered milk (optional, for added richness)

2 tablespoons sugar

1.5 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

1.25 cups warm water (110°F or 45°C)

0.25 cup olive oil (or any neutral oil)

2 large eggs (room temperature)

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar


Instructions

  1. In stand mixer bowl, whisk together flours, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add vinegar, eggs, oil, and warm water. Beat on medium-high for 4 minutes (dough will be sticky).
  3. Grease 9×5-inch loaf pan. Transfer dough to pan, smoothing top with wet spatula.
  4. Cover with oiled plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place for 45-60 minutes until nearly doubled.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush loaf with egg white if using.
  6. Bake 40-45 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 205°F (96°C).
  7. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For dairy-free version, use olive oil and ensure flour blend is dairy-free
  • Let bread cool completely to prevent gummy texture
  • Store wrapped at room temperature 3 days or freeze up to 3 months
  • Add 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder for extra fiber and structure
