Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast until evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Mix Dough: Pour in the warm water, olive oil, and eggs to the dry mixture. Stir and mix well until a smooth, but slightly sticky dough forms.
- Transfer Dough to Pan: Spoon the dough into the greased loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. The bread is done when the crust turns a golden brown color and sounds hollow when tapped gently.
- Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
- Use gluten-free flour blends that contain xanthan gum or add it separately for better texture.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Store bread in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic to maintain freshness.
- For a dairy-free version, ensure eggs are acceptable or substitute accordingly, as this recipe contains eggs and olive oil only.
