Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a little olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs using a whisk or an electric mixer until they are frothy.
Add the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and warm water to the eggs. Whisk or beat until the mixture is smooth.
Sprinkle the instant yeast over the wet ingredients and gently mix to combine.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment until the dough is smooth and no dry flour remains.
Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 15-20 minutes until the dough has expanded slightly and appears puffy.
Once the dough has risen, 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 on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
