Description

A delicious and easy gluten-free bread recipe perfect for any meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it in it)
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 1 packet rapid rise/instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey (or agave nectar or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (100-110°F)
  • 3 egg whites (from large eggs and room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Spray a 9-inch x 5-inch bread pan or 9-inch x 4-inch small Pullman loaf pan with gluten-free cooking spray.
  2. Move the top oven rack to the middle rack. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  3. Add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and instant yeast to a large bowl and stir to combine the ingredients.
  4. Add the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and warm water to the flour mixture and mix on low for 1 minute.
  5. If using a stand-up mixer, use the paddle attachment, not the dough hook.
  6. Add the egg whites and salt to the dough and mix on medium for 1 minute. The dough will look like a thick cake batter.
  7. Pour the dough into a greased 9-inch x 5-inch bread pan or the 9-inch x 4-inch small Pullman loaf pan.
  8. Cover the top of the pan with plastic wrap sprayed with gluten-free cooking spray.
  9. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and allow the bread to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  10. Place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes at 350°F on the middle rack.
  11. The bread will be golden brown and have an internal temperature between 205-210ºF.
  12. Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
  13. Remove the loaf from the baking pan and place it on a cooling rack.
  14. Slice the bread with a serrated knife to avoid squishing it.
  15. Store the leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature once completely cooled.
  16. The bread can be frozen once cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil or freezer paper before placing in a freezer bag. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Notes

  • Ensure the bread completely cools before slicing to avoid sogginess.
  • For best results, use a serrated knife for slicing the bread.
