Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Sandwich Bread

Preheat oven to 350°

1/2 Cup Quinoa Flour, or brown rice flour

1/2 Cup Gluten-Free Oat Flour

2/3 Cup Sorghum Flour, or amaranth flour

1/2 Cup Tapioca Flour, or potato starch or corn starch

1 Tbsp. Amaranth Grain

3 Tbsp. Ground Flax Seed

1 Tbsp. Xanthan Gum

2 tsp. Instant Yeast

1 1/4 tsp. Sea Salt

2 Eggs, lightly beaten

2 Egg Whites, lightly beaten

3/4 Cup Warm Water

4 Tbsp. Olive Oil

3 Tbsp. Agave Syrup, or honey

2 tsp. cider vinegar

In a medium bowl combine all of the dry ingredients and whisk until incorporated. Set aside

Add 2 eggs to the bowl of your heavy-duty mixer and lightly beat with paddle attachment.

In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites and add them to the egg mixture in the mixing bowl.

Combine the remaining wet ingredients in a measuring cup and add to mixing bowl.

Place mixer on stir cycle and slowly add in the dry mixture. Once all ingredients are wet, turn off mixer, scrape down bowl, and mix on medium-high for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly coat a bread pan and piece of plastic wrap with non-stick spray.

This is what the dough will look like after the 4 minutes.

Scoop out dough into prepared pan and with wet fingers, lightly press dough into pan.

Lay the prepared plastic wrap lightly over the top of the pan and let rise on top of the preheating stove for 85 minutes. (I only did mine for 75 minutes because I was in a hurry and it didn’t rise quite as much as it should.)

Allow to rise a bit higher than this picture. It should be domed just above the top of the pan.

Don’t allow it to over-rise or it will sink when you remove it from the oven. Place in a 350 degree pre-heated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reads 200 degrees. Instant read thermometers are inexpensive and you can usually find them at your local grocery store. I have found that with gluten-free bread, even when it has that hollow sound when you tap on it, doesn’t mean it’s done. I rely on the thermometer for all of my bread baking. Remove from oven when done. Immediately take it out of the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
