Equipment

mixing bowl
whisk
loaf pan
spatula
oven

Ingredients

3 cups gluten-free flour blend
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water or milk
2 eggs (or flax eggs)
2 tbsp oil or melted butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp xanthan gum or psyllium husk
1 tsp sugar (for yeast activation)

Instructions

Mix warm water with yeast and sugar, then let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, salt, and xanthan gum.
Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick batter forms.
Transfer the batter into a lined loaf pan, smooth the top, and let it rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–45 minutes until golden and firm.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to ensure proper texture.

Notes

For best results, ensure your yeast is fresh and fully activated before mixing. The dough should resemble a thick batter, not traditional dough. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy texture. You can substitute eggs with flax or chia eggs for a vegan version.
