Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • Gluten-Free Flour Blend – 2 ½ cups Provides structure & texture
  • Xanthan Gum or Psyllium Husk – 1 tsp Binds ingredients & replaces gluten
  • Yeast Instant or Active Dry – 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) (Helps the bread rise & develop flavor)
  • Apple Cider Vinegar – 1 tsp Improves dough elasticity
  • Olive Oil or Melted Butter – ¼ cup Adds moisture & prevents dryness
  • Egg Whites – 3 large Helps with structure & softness
  • Honey or Maple Syrup – ¼ cup Adds mild sweetness & aids browning
  • Warm Water 100-110°F – 1 ½ cups (Activates yeast & hydrates flour)
  • Salt – 1 tsp Enhances flavor & balances yeast activity

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and honey (or maple syrup). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum (if not already in the flour), and salt.
  • Add apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and egg whites to the yeast mixture and mix well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using a stand mixer or hand mixer for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and the top sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum if you’re not adding it separately.
For extra softness, brush the top with melted butter after baking.
Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
