Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups 300g gluten free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon 12g sugar or honey
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 cup 240ml warm milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1/4 cup 60ml warm water
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons 42g melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Equipment

  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • kitchen scale
  • cooling rack

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten free flour blend and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes until doubled.
  5. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Stir the batter down and transfer to the pan, smoothing the top.
  6. Cover loosely and let rise again for 20-30 minutes until batter reaches the rim.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 200°F.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze for up to 3 months. Toast slices for best texture. If using a gluten free flour blend without xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.
