I love the smell of bread rising and then baking in the oven. I love grinding my grinds and the pleasure I get something I created without any funky ingredients. That all came to a screeching halt about 3 months ago. I had to sell my wheat grinder (such a sad, sad day) and start buying $6 loaves of bread that tasted like cardboard. Making Homemade Gluten Free Bread was a top priority for me if this new phase of life was going to go well.
It’s been a hard lesson on how to work with all these new gluten free flours and cooking is so much different, but since I figured out my Master Gluten Free Mix I was able to figure out how to make bread. {Oh Happy Day!}
Not only did I have to figure out how to make gluten free bread, it had to be dairy free and egg free. That causes it’s own issues, but the results are pretty much amazing! Is it just like wheat bread? No! Would it be better with egg? Of course! But it works for me and I know there are other people out there allergic to wheat and eggs.
If you can have eggs, then feel free to add them back in. It will be great!
Yields yield:3 loaves
Perfect gluten free bread from scratch!
Save Recipe- 8 cups GF Master Blend
- 1 tbls xanthan gum
- 2 tbls yeast
- 2 tbls salt
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey or agave
- 2 tbls egg replacer mixed with 1 1/2 cups water (or 6 eggs)
Preheat oven to 200F.
Combine flour, xanthan gum, yeast, and salt in a mixer** with cookie paddles attached. Add remaining ingredients and mix well on low speed. Batter will be very wet, like the consistency of muffin batter.
Spoon batter into pans (about 1lb 10oz per loaf). Gently shape lumpy batter into a smooth top (make it look like bread). Turn off oven and allow dough to rise in warm oven for 30 minutes.
Remove pans from oven, turn oven back on to 350F, and bake 55-60 minutes or until golden brown.
**Note: This recipe was made in a Bosch mixer . Feel free to use a different mixer, just know that you may need to halve the recipe so that you don't burn out the motor.
