Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Parsley, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2.25 teaspoons Yeast
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of all dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
In a third bowl, whisk the egg and add the olive oil. Mix until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the yeast mixture and the egg-oil mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined and a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and black pepper into the dough. Mix until the chicken and spices are evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Smooth out the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the dough to rise slightly.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy the gluten-free chicken bread warm or at room temperature. It's perfect on its own or as a base for sandwiches.
