Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and yeast.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
Whisk together olive oil, eggs, and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then pour in the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined. The dough should be thick but sticky.
Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it just reaches the top of the pan, about 25-30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 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 turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Red Pepper Spread: In a blender or food processor, combine roasted red peppers, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if necessary.
Serve the gluten-free bread with a generous serving of red pepper spread on top.
