Fluffy and Soft Gluten-Free Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups (420 g) gluten-free flour blend
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not already included in the flour blend)
- 2 large eggs
- 1¼ cups (300 ml) warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and xanthan gum.
- Add the eggs, warm water, oil, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until a smooth, sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 45–60 minutes, or until noticeably expanded.
- Transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a damp spatula.
- Let it rest for another 20–30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Tips for Extra Soft Bread
- Use room-temperature ingredients whenever possible.
- Gluten-free dough is naturally stickier than regular dough; avoid adding too much extra flour.
- Store the bread in an airtight container to maintain its softness.
- Slice and freeze leftovers for longer storage, then toast when needed.
Enjoy your fluffy, soft, gluten-free bread!
