Best Gluten-Free “White” Bread

IMG_2102

Mmm…finally! I found a good! gluten-free “white” bread recipe. I found it online and did some alterations to fit my tastes and what I did. This is definitely one of my new favorites! :) It tastes just like “homemade normal gluten-containing white bread”. I even tested it on my picky normal family and they all said it was fine, just a little chewier or moister maybe. Anyway, I’ve tested A LOT of bread recipes out there and this ones sure amazing! Try it and let me know what you think!

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup potato starch
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Energy-Egg Replacer
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

Wet Ingredients:

  • 4 egg whites
  • 4 tablespoons safflower oil
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1 1/4 cups water

For bread makers: Sift and mix all the dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients together. Place wet ingredients in your bread maker and then dry ingredients (or according to your bread makers instructions). Select the gluten-free cycle if you have one, or select basic bread/white bread. Cook. Remove from pan immediately when done and allow to cool before slicing.

For those of your doing it in the oven: Grease one bread pan, preferably a smaller one. Set aside. Combine 1/2 cup of the water (make sure its about 110 degrees, warm, but not too hot), 1 T. honey, and yeast. Whisk together. Let sit for ten minutes. While you are waiting, sift together your dry ingredients (except yeast) or whisk them together. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir. Add the yeast mixture. Stir to combine. Preheat the oven to 200. Turn it off once it reaches 200 degrees. Knead the bread with a mixer or strong muscles, for about 4 minutes or more. (Or if you have a stand mixer, let it mix a little longer). Scoop dough into prepared pan. Smooth the top of the dough with wet fingertips. Cover with plastic wrap and place in warmed oven. Let rise 20 mins or until the dough is to the top of the pan or close to it. Take the bread out. Preheat the oven to 375 and then take the platic of the dough. Place the pan in the oven. Cook for 40-45 mins or until done. Let cool before slicing (if you can!) :) Enjoy!

I would love to hear any comments, suggestions, alterations, results etc that you found! Please comment and let us know!

I've been getting in the mood for doing more bread experiments. I might have to play with this recipe. I like that you added brown rice flour. I'm curious to know what the bread is like the next day. Does it stay soft or do you have to heat it?
