You may have seen my recent gluten free bread recipe using no added starch. I’ve taken it a step further today, by creating a gluten free whole grain bread recipe using no added starch that is also perfect for sandwiches. That’s right! It is free of tapioca, potato, arrowroot, and corn starch yet it’s soft enough for sandwiches. There are no added starches whatsoever. It is made up of four gluten free whole grains and is flavorful, chewy, and spongy.
Ancient grains provide flavor as well as nutritional benefits. The increased protein and fiber levels make it a smarter choice for diabetics and borderline diabetics who currently consume gluten free bread full of starch.
While the use of real butter and milk make a rich bread that does not stale as easily as dairy-free gluten-free bread, it can be made dairy-free and vegan. The texture still makes an excellent sandwich bread.

Tips
Different Size Pan: If you prefer, you may use an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pan just as easily. Also, a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan will work; however, the bread will turn out rectangular in shape.

Hi Carla,
I am confused, in your reply to Candi you tell her to use instant yeast not active NOT active but the recipe says active dry yeast (not instant)
Which one is correct? I can’t wait to try your recipe. Thank you
Aura
Aura,
I used active yeast in this recipe and was just explaining to Cindi why I did and when I use instant yeast. I highly recommend using active use when doing a double rise.

Hi Carla
When I saw this recipe I nearly CREIED oh my God Thank you.
I have an Allergy to SULFITES all this hidden Sulfites is so wrong I look like I have had a collogen injection in my face lips tongue, heart palpitations, and the government says thats OK.
I thought I would never enjoy bread again. If you have more recipes without Starches oh how wonderful no pressure
Once again Thank you Thank you Thank you
Hi Carmel,
Thank you for your positive feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe. Meanwhile, here is my nose started added actually starch free category of recipes: https://glutenfreerecipebox.com/category/recipes/gluten-free-starch-free/.
Enjoy!
Hello Carla, thanks for this lovely GF bread recipe...wondering if it can be baked in my GF machine., if so, would the dough have to rise before putting it in the machine ? I would be using instant yeast as I usually do. (GF machines have a shorter baking cycle.)
Thanks,

Rosemarie,
I would definitely try this in a bread machine with a gluten free setting. One rise should be fine. It just won't be as smooth on top.
Let me know how it goes.

I only have instant yeast, and I use it in all my breads (except long fermented sourdough) but they are not gluten free. Do you know why instant yeast will not work in this recipe? I use it in all my double risen loaves (but they have wheat). Thanks!
Cindy,
Active yeast rises slower and instant contains some ingredients to exceed traditional rising times. Nowadays, I “usually” use active yeast for double risen dough and sweeter doughs really need a boost due to the weight of sugar. Active yeast rises slower and it contains some ingredients to exceed traditional rising times. Nowadays, I “usually” use active yeast for double risen dough and sweeter dough, which really need a boost due to the weight of sugar and butter. If you can taste yeast in your final product, that means it’s over risen. Slow rising develops flavor, which is a very slight sourdough taste.
Let me know how it goes!

Love this bread recipe but prefer gram measurements as well. So, searched the internet for weight per cup and did the calculations for 13 tablespoons is .8125 cup.
So, I today measured 106 grams sorghum flour, 128 grams teff flour, 104 grams of brown rice flour and 111 grams of millet flour.
Candi,
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed this recipe.
That was very nice of you to share that with everyone. You will also find a chart on this website with 1 cup weight conversions in grams and ounces for most gluten-free flours and starches: https://glutenfreerecipebox.com/gluten-free-flour-conversion-chart/. Each ingredient what is different amounts per the same volume.

I tried this recipe. I moll my own flours. I love it and my finicky non gluten free husband likes it too. Is there a reason this can’t be placed directly in the pan to rise?
Candi,
I’m so happy your family enjoyed this recipe.
The answer is no. There is no reason why the bread cannot rise in the bread pan. However, the top will not be as smooth if you do a one-rise. In addition it turns out lighter with a second rise. In one-rise gluten free bread recipes, you also want to use instant dry yeast, not active. I hope this answers your question.
Meanwhile, I have many one-rise recipes in my gluten-free bread category:
Enjoy!

I made this bread and enjoy the taste and texture. I store it pre-sliced in the freezer and take out what I need when I need it. The problem I am having is when I take it out of the toaster, it breaks into several pieces. That makes it hard to fix a sandwich! Any ideas on what I could do to improve the recipe?
Thank you!
Hi Debra,
I am glad you're enjoying the bread. I don't usually toast mine. I microwave it to make it soft again to use with sandwiches. I do not suggest using this bread toasted.
If you would like to experiment, you can slowly increase the xanthan gum to create more elasticity. That should help hold it together better. Please let us know how much you use and the result if you do.
Thanks,
Carla
Please publish recipes with measurements by weight instead of, or in addition to, measurements by volume. I can hardly wait to try this bread recipe! I love your gluten free recipes!
