🥘Ingredients

For the Bread

1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey or sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

👨‍🍳Directions

1Add the warm water, olive oil, honey, and salt to the bread machine pan.
2The water should be between 110°F and 115°F to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
3Gently spoon the gluten free flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife, then add it to the pan on top of the liquid ingredients.
4Make a small well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast into the well, keeping it away from the liquid initially.
5Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the gluten free or basic white bread cycle with a light or medium crust setting.
6Press start and let the machine knead, rise, and bake the bread according to its cycle.
7When the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan from the machine using oven mitts.
8Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

📝Notes

Tips: Use a gluten free flour blend that already contains xanthan gum for best results. If your blend does not include it, add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum. For a dairy free version, use olive oil instead of butter and ensure your flour blend is dairy free. The bread is best toasted if stored for more than a day.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Bread Machine Bread

Q1: What type of flour should I use in this recipe?

For this recipe, I recommend using a combination of gluten-free all-purpose flour and almond flour. The all-purpose flour provides structure and texture, while the almond flour adds moisture and nutty flavor.

Q2: Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of honey?

Yes, you can replace the honey with another sweetener of your choice, such as maple syrup or coconut sugar. However, keep in mind that these alternatives may change the flavor profile slightly.

Q3: How do I store leftover bread?

Leftover bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to preserve freshness.

Q4: Can I make this recipe in a stand mixer instead of a bread machine?

This recipe is specifically designed for a bread machine due to its unique kneading process. If you try to make it in a stand mixer, you may end up with a dense or tough loaf.

Q5: Why does this recipe require xanthan gum?

Xanthan gum is added to help improve the texture and structure of gluten-free bread. It’s essential for creating a tender crumb and preventing the bread from becoming too crumbly.
