Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk (dairy or non-dairy, about 110°F)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted, or non-dairy alternative)
- 2 whole Large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and instant yeast. Whisk together to blend evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat well until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick batter forms. The mixture should be smooth and slightly sticky but not runny.
Fold the raisins into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly using a spatula. Smooth the top as much as possible.
Cover the pan loosely with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or until the batter has risen slightly but not doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once the dough has risen, place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve the bread plain, toasted, or with your favorite spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
