Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with neutral oil and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum until evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the pineapple juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Gently heat the whole milk until warm, not hot, and mix with the melted butter. Set this mixture aside.
In another bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the yeast mixture and milk-butter mixture to the sugar-egg mixture, stirring until well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl, stirring constantly until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pan loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
