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
- Spray a 9-inch x 5-inch bread pan or 9-inch x 4-inch small Pullman loaf pan with gluten-free cooking spray.
- Move the top oven rack to the middle rack. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and instant yeast to a large bowl and stir to combine the ingredients.
- Add the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and warm water to the flour mixture and mix on low for 1 minute.
- If using a stand-up mixer, use the paddle attachment, not the dough hook.
- 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.
- Pour the dough into a greased 9-inch x 5-inch bread pan or the 9-inch x 4-inch small Pullman loaf pan.
- Cover the top of the pan with plastic wrap sprayed with gluten-free cooking spray.
- Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and allow the bread to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes at 350°F on the middle rack.
- The bread will be golden brown and have an internal temperature between 205-210ºF.
- Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
- Remove the loaf from the baking pan and place it on a cooling rack.
- Slice the bread with a serrated knife to avoid squishing it.
- Store the leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature once completely cooled.
- 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.
