Foryoueats: Fluffy Gluten Free Bread

2 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon xanthan gum (leave out if your flour blend already includes it)

1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder

2 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup sunflower oil

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1 1/2 cups warm unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk or water), between 105-110F

2 large eggs, beaten, room temperature

Preheat and Grease: Preheat the oven to 350F and adjust the rack to the middle position. Grease an 8″x 4″ loaf pan with oil.

Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), baking powder, instant yeast, sugar, and salt together to combine.

Add Wet Ingredients to Get Stick Dough: Add the vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, warm milk and mix for one minute until combined. Add the beaten eggs and mix for another minute until you get a dough that resembles thick cake batter (the dough will be wet and sticky, but that’s completely fine).

Transfer Dough to Pan: Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth out the top of the dough.

Let Dough Rise: Cover the dough with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for the next 30 minutes in a warm, draft-free place, until it has roughly doubled in size.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Once the dough is done rising, lace the loaf pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Remove Loaf from Oven: Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool down for 10 minutes in the pan before removing it to finish cooling on a rack (this will prevent the bottom from getting soggy). If the bottom is not brown enough for your liking, let it bake bottom-side-up for another 10 minutes at 375F.

Cool Fully Before Slicing: Allow the loaf to fully cool before slicing (this is important as the loaf may disintegrate if it’s still hot when you slice).
