Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Stand mixer or hand whisk
  • Loaf pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, yeast, salt, and sugar. Stir to mix.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together warm milk, eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Combine and Knead: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms. If using a stand mixer, mix on medium speed for 3–5 minutes.
  • First Rise: Transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the Bread: Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Use Fresh Yeast: Ensure your yeast is active by proofing it in warm milk before adding it to the dough.
  2. Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can make the dough too dense; mix just until combined.
  3. Allow Proper Rising Time: Gluten-free bread requires a full hour to rise properly for a light texture.
  4. Bake at the Right Temperature: A slightly higher oven temperature ensures a golden crust and soft interior.
  5. Store Correctly: Keep in an airtight container to prevent drying out, or slice and freeze for longer shelf life.
