Here’s a simple and delicious Gluten-Free Bread recipe that’s soft, fluffy, and perfect for sandwiches or toast:

Homemade Gluten-Free Bread Recipe (No Mixer Needed)

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • 1 ½ tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp instant yeast

  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (about 110°F / 45°C)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 large eggs (room temp)

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

  1. Activate Yeast (if needed):

    • If using active dry yeast (not instant), mix it with warm water and sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until bubbly.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In a bowl, whisk eggs, oil, and vinegar.

  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    • In another large bowl, mix flour, salt, and instant yeast (if not already activated).

  4. Mix the Dough:

    • Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture.

    • Add warm water gradually while mixing with a wooden spoon or hand mixer with paddle attachment until smooth. The dough will be thick but soft (not like regular dough—more like thick batter).

  5. Rise:

    • Grease a 9×5 loaf pan. Spoon in the dough and smooth the top with a wet spatula.

    • Cover loosely and let it rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, until it rises slightly above the pan.

  6. Bake:

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Bake for 35–45 minutes until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.

  7. Cool:

    • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack. Wait at least 1 hour before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum or add 1 tsp if your blend doesn’t have it.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.

  • Freezes well – slice before freezing for easy use.
