INGREDIENTS

  • 2/3 cup warm water 95-105F for proofing

  • 3 tsp sugar

  • 3 tsp dry active yeast

  • 3 cup of gluten free flour

  • 1 TBSP baking powder

  • 3 tsp xanthan gum

  • 1 1/2 tsp fine kosher salt

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 c to 2/3 cup warm water (extra as needed) *Note* Adjust water usage depending on flour. You want the consistency to be somewhat sticky but not runny. The more water you, the softer the bread.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Proof yeast. Place active dry yeast in 2/3 c warm water (95-105 F) and mix with sugar. Let is sit for 5 minutes. If it bubbles, it’s active. Set aside until ready to use.

  2. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, whisk/sift together your dry ingredients. Add the yeast mixture together with dry ingredients, then add the oil and vinegar. Mix well, then add 1/2 c of warm water until you get soft sticky dough, similar to pizza dough. If the dough seems too dry (depending on the kind of flour you’re using), mix in any extra water only as needed (2 tbsp – 1/3 c should be enough ).

  3. Knead the dough for 5 minutes in the stand mixer with a dough hook.

  4. If your dough is sticky, that’s ok! Place the dough straight into a parchment lined bread pan – 8×4 or 9×5 pan. Spread dough in pan with wet hands.

  5. Cover pan with cotton towel and place in a warm place until doubled in size. The dough usually takes 70 minutes to 90 minutes to rise. Longer if your environment is cold or too dry.

  6. After dough has risen, gently score the top with serrated knife, dust with flour, then bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 35 to 55 minutes (internal temperature needs to reach 210-212). Brushing with 1 TBSP melted vegan butter 10 minutes before done (optional).

  7. Let bread cool on counter for 10 minutes to 15 minutes before slicing into it. This bread is freezer friendly!
