Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour with xanthan gum
  • 1 ½ cups Warm Water 110°F or Dairy-Free Milk
  • 2 Large Eggs room temperature
  • 2 tbsp Melted Coconut Oil or Vegan Butter
  • 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar or Honey
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 ¼ tsp Active Dry Yeast 1 packet

Equipment

  • 1 Bread Machine Use Gluten-Free setting if available
  • 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons Use Spoon & Level method
  • 1 Wire cooling rack To prevent a gummy bottom
  • 1 Silicone Spatula For scraping the corners

Method
 

  1. Add Liquids: Pour the warm water (or dairy-free milk), eggs, oil, and apple cider vinegar into the bread machine pan.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Carefully spoon the gluten-free flour over the liquids, followed by the sugar and salt.
  3. Create a Well: Use your finger to make a small indent in the center of the flour. Pour the yeast into the well.
  4. Set Machine: Select the "Gluten-Free" or "Basic/Rapid" setting on your machine.
  5. Scrape Sides: 5 minutes into the mixing cycle, use a silicone spatula to scrape down any stray flour from the corners.
  6. Cool: Once the cycle is finished, remove the bread and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Always use the 'Spoon & Level' method for measuring flour to avoid a dense loaf.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
