Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
- 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Wheat Starch
- 1/4 cup Tapioca Starch
- 1/4 cup Brown Rice Flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Instant Yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 cup Warm Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Oats
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, wheat starch, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, yeast, salt, and xanthan gum.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, honey, olive oil, egg, and apple cider vinegar.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms. It should be thicker than a cake batter but not too stiff.
- 4
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 5
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- 6
Gently deflate the dough and transfer it to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top.
- 7
In a small bowl, mix water and oats. Brush the top of the bread with the water and sprinkle oats over the top.
- 8
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, tent it with foil.
- 9
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
