This recipe provides a straightforward method for making a soft, reliable gluten free bread loaf suitable for daily sandwiches, using accessible ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Combine the warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy. This confirms your yeast is active.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend and salt.
  3. Add the foamy yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter or oil, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a sturdy hand mixer) on medium speed for 4 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined. The batter will be thick, like cake batter, not traditional bread dough.
  5. Grease a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan well. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a wet spatula.
  6. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and place it in a warm, draft-free spot to rise for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the last 15 minutes of rising time.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 205°F (96°C).
  9. Remove the loaf from the pan immediately after baking and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This step is crucial for texture.

Notes

  • Use a gluten free flour blend that already contains xanthan gum for the best results in this recipe.
  • If your kitchen is cool, place the rising dough in a slightly warmed (but turned off) oven to encourage a good rise for your gluten free bread.
  • For a dairy free gluten free bread option, substitute the butter with a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil.
