Gluten & Dairy Free Miracle Sandwich Bread

Submitted by ajandme

"This loaf has a beautiful crust, is the size of a "real" loaf of bread, and tastes wonderful! It stays fresh for a couple days on the counter (unlike other gluten free breads). You can view more of my recipes at www.allergyfreealaska.com."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Yields: 1 Bread Loaf
• Serves: 18

ingredients

• Yeast Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 1⁄4 cups warm water (between 110 - 115 degrees F)
• 2 3⁄4 active dry yeast (NOT instant yeast)

• Wet Ingredients

• 3 eggs, at room temperature
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

• Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups brown rice flour
• 1⁄2 cup tapioca starch
• 1⁄2 cup arrowroot
• 1⁄2 cup blanched almond flour
• 2 3⁄4 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1 1⁄4 teaspoons sea salt

directions

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey and the warm water; mix until the honey is dissolved. Sprinkle in the yeast and give it a quick stir to combine. Allow to proof for 10 minutes (set a timer!) - NO more, NO less time. Make sure you have the other wet and dry ingredients mixed and ready to go when the 10 minutes are up!
2. Using a heavy duty mixer, combine the dry ingredients.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vinegar.
4. When the yeast is done proofing, add the wet ingredients to the dry. Stir until it's a little paste-like, then add the yeast mixture. Using your mixer's low speed setting, mix for about 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl then mix on medium for about 2 minutes or until the dough is smooth. (You may need to stop your mixer and scrape the sides of your bowl a few more times.).
5. Pour dough into a parchment lined and well greased 9 x 5" bread pan and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 45-60 minutes (Check the loaf 30 minutes into rising. When the dough is close to hitting the plastic wrap, remove it; allow the dough to rise the remaining time uncovered.) When the dough is just starting to crest the top of the pan, bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 375 degrees (F) oven.
6. Remove loaf from pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
7. Enjoy it!

This is the easiest as well as the best gf sandwich bread I have made yet. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I have already made it twice, using honey instead of agave and quinoa, sorghum & millet flours instead of almond (what I had), and have another rising now for dinner tonight. Even my DH, who refers to gf bread as the fake stuff, loved it. The only other deviation I made was using bread machine yeast instead of rapid rise yeast. I still let it sit to "activate" for the 10 min. The loaf turned out so light and tasty! I can't believe something so good was so easy to make. It didn't get crumbly after sitting out on the counter for a couple days.

I don't know if I under cooked this or not, but it came out like under baked bread. Heavy and wet. I may have had to much liquid. It tasted so good, like the real wheat bread. No belly ache. Thank you.
