Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it in it)
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1 packet rapid rise/instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey (or agave nectar or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (100-110°F)
- 3 egg whites (from large eggs and room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Spray a 9-inch x 5-inch bread pan or 9-inch x 4-inch small Pullman loaf pan with gluten-free cooking spray. Move the top oven rack to the middle rack. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and instant yeast to a large bowl and stir to combine the ingredients.
- Add the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and warm water to the flour mixture and mix on low for 1 minute.
- Add the egg whites and salt to the dough and mix on medium for 1 minute until the dough looks like a thick cake batter.
- Pour the dough into the greased bread pan. Cover the pan with sprayed plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, allowing it to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes at 350°F on the middle rack. The bread should be golden brown with an internal temperature between 205-210°F.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the bread. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature once cooled. Avoid pre-slicing before storage.
- The bread can be frozen once cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil or freezer paper, and place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- Thaw the bread in the refrigerator overnight.
Notes
- Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment is recommended for mixing the dough.
- If the bread cools completely in the pan, it can become soggy.
