Discover the tropical sweetness of Gluten-Free Hawaiian Bread, a soft and fluffy loaf that delivers all the flavors of traditional Hawaiian bread without the gluten. Infused with the natural tang of pineapple juice and a hint of vanilla, this recipe creates a beautifully golden bread that's perfect for sandwiches, breakfast toasts, or just enjoying warm with a pat of butter. Made with a blend of gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum for structure, and lightly sweetened with brown sugar, this bread rises to perfection thanks to instant dry yeast. Its tender texture and subtle sweetness make it an excellent choice for anyone craving a slice of paradise, gluten-free style. Easy to make, ready in under an hour of active prep, and perfect for meal prep, this crowd-pleaser is as versatile as it is delicious.
In a medium saucepan, gently warm the milk, pineapple juice, and butter until the butter is just melted. Allow to cool until warm to the touch.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, instant dry yeast, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the cooled milk mixture until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, mixing with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed. Continue mixing until a smooth and soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Cover loosely with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, place the loaf in the preheated oven.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy the gluten-free Hawaiian bread fresh, or store in an airtight container to retain its moisture.
