The Best gluten free machine bread recipe

I’m so excited to share this gluten-free machine bread recipe with you all. I’ve been perfecting it for a while now, and it’s become a staple in our household. My kids love helping me mix and knead the dough, and it’s a great way to get them involved in the kitchen.

Plus, it’s a fantastic way to ensure we’re getting some wholesome, nutritious bread into our bodies. I’ve tried plenty of gluten-free bread recipes before, but this one stands out for its simplicity and deliciousness. The best part?

It’s incredibly easy to make – just throw everything into your machine and let it do the work for you! I’ve found that using a combination of gluten-free flours like almond, coconut, and rice creates a beautiful texture that’s both tender and crispy on the outside. Of course, you can always adjust the ratio of flours to suit your personal taste preferences.

One thing I love about this recipe is how versatile it is – whether you’re serving it as toast, using it for sandwiches, or just snacking on slices straight from the loaf, this bread is sure to please. And don’t even get me started on the health benefits – by cutting out gluten entirely, we’re reducing our intake of inflammatory compounds that can wreak havoc on our digestive systems. Not to mention the fact that this bread is made with wholesome ingredients like olive oil and real salt – talk about a win-win!

So go ahead, give this recipe a try – I promise you won’t be disappointed!

🥘Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup potato starch
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not in blend)

Wet Ingredients

1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F)
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, almond flour, potato starch, sugar, instant yeast, salt, and xanthan gum (if using).
2Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly combined to avoid clumps.
3Pour the warm water into the bread machine pan.
4Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and eggs.
5Gently whisk the wet ingredients with a fork to break the yolks.
6Carefully spoon the dry ingredient mixture over the wet ingredients in the pan, spreading it evenly.
7Use a spatula to level the top without stirring.
8Select the ‘Gluten Free’ cycle on your bread machine (if available) or the ‘Basic White’ cycle with a 2-pound loaf setting.
9Choose a medium crust color.
Press start.
10When the cycle ends (about 3 hours), check the bread: the top should be golden brown and the loaf should sound hollow when tapped.
11If underdone, bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 additional minutes.
12Remove the bread pan from the machine and let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
13Then turn it out onto a wire rack and cool completely for at least 1 hour before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.

Tips: Use a high-quality gluten free flour blend that contains xanthan gum for best results. If your blend does not include it, add 1 teaspoon xanthan gum. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid a dense, sticky interior. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Machine Bread

Q: Can I use a different type of flour?

Yes! While almond flour works beautifully in this recipe, you can experiment with other gluten-free flours like coconut flour or rice flour to see what works best for you.

Q: What if my dough doesn’t rise?

Don’t worry – there are a few things you can check! First, make sure your yeast is fresh (old yeast can be the culprit behind failed dough rises). Next, ensure that your water isn’t too hot (it should be around 100°F for optimal yeast growth). If neither of these checks out, try adding a bit more salt or letting the dough rest for a longer period of time.

Q: Can I make this bread by hand?

Of course! While using a machine makes things easier, you can certainly knead and shape the dough manually if you prefer.

Q: How long does this bread keep?

This bread will keep for up to 3 days stored at room temperature in an airtight container. If you want to store it longer, consider freezing individual slices or portions.

Q: Can I use this recipe to make baguettes or other shapes?

While this recipe is perfect for making loaves or boules, feel free to experiment with shaping it into other forms like baguettes or even pizza crusts!
