Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (skip if your flour already contains it)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if needed), sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Stir to mix well.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and eggs until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), beat the dough on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth. The dough will be thick and sticky, more like a batter than traditional bread dough.
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Scoop the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula or wet hands to shape the dough evenly in the pan.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size. It should crest just above the top of the loaf pan.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once risen, place the loaf pan in the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center of the bread reads 200°F (93°C).
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your delicious gluten-free bread as a base for all your favorite toppings or meals!
