Tips and Notes
- Flours: Use a blend of gluten-free flours, such as almond flour, brown rice flour, and tapioca flour, to achieve the best texture. Store-bought gluten-free flour blends can also work well.
- Xanthan Gum: This ingredient helps mimic the elasticity of gluten, providing structure to the bread. Be sure to include it if your flour blend does not already contain it.
- Moisture: Gluten-free bread often requires more moisture. Incorporate ingredients like applesauce, yogurt, or extra eggs to achieve the desired texture.
- Baking: Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45-60 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Storage: Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
Enjoy the simple pleasure of making Gluten-Free Bread as a delicious and versatile addition to your meals!
Gluten-Free Bread
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 loaf pan
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Spray oil or parchment paper
- 1 Measuring cups

Ingredients
- 2 cups 240g gluten-free all-purpose flour mix (ensure it contains Xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon 12g sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon 6g salt
- 1 tablespoon 9g instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon 5g baking powder
- 1 cup 240ml warm milk (or dairy-free milk)
- 1/4 cup 60ml vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until fully mixed. The dough will be thicker than traditional bread dough.

- Cover the loaf with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
