Gluten-Free Bread in a Bread Machine

Make this gluten-free bread in your bread maker. It’s not as good as normal bread, but it’s pretty good if you must avoid gluten. The mixture will look more like cake batter than bread dough in your machine, don’t worry, it will be okay. The loaf may sink while it’s baking, leaving a crusty, crunchy bowl on the exposed end, which you will want to slice off and discard. The finished bread will be quite firm and heavy, and I recommend slicing it thin. It makes good toast, but it toasts slowly. I use my darkest toaster setting and have to run that twice to get golden brown toast.

Step: 1

Place water, eggs, oil, vinegar, flour, xanthan gum, salt, sugar, and yeast, in that order, in a bread machine. Run Basic cycle and select Light or Medium for the crust.

Step: 2

Remove when cycle ends. Cool completely before slicing.

The best flavour of the flour can make a real difference to your bread. Different makers do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard bread flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal bread , which not always rise as well as white bread.

To made this in a dough , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A bread first rising can be done in the fridge 24 hours . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can start it yesterday , then clear it off the next day.
