Looking for a lighter gluten free bread recipe? The first time I made my gluten-free oat bread recipe I used non-fat milk. This time I used water, less salt, and replaced 1/4 cup of the oat flour with 1/4 cup of Expandex. It has the texture of real white bread, but just slightly heavier because it is moister; has a little heavier crust, and is made with oat flour which is a heavy flour. It makes a wonderful gluten-free sandwich bread! When warm or just cooled it has the texture of white bread. Once it cools completely it has the texture of sliced sourdough bread. This bread makes wonderful gluten free bread for sandwiches, especially for kids!
I decided to use water instead of milk this time to make it lower in sodium, as milk has about 140 mg of sodium for 8 oz., and it makes it heavier. I also lessened the sea salt from 3/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon. Did you know that sea salt contains less sodium than regular salt. Some even say it helps rid the body of water retention. I cannot tell you what a great texture this bread has! It is wonderful, yet still moist! If you’ve been wanting to try Expandex, now you have a tried and true recipe to experiment with! You can learn more about it and find out where to purchase it online at: https://glutenfreerecipebox.com/expandex-modified-tapioca-starch-better-gluten-free-baked-goods. In addition, Carol Fenster has written an article providing how to use Expandex.

thank you... i will try shortly ;)
have you tasted the "Promise" sourdough from Ireland? i am extremely impressed with all 3 variations... sure wish i could make something like that! :)
Andre,
I have never heard of promised sourdough or Irish sourdough bread. Are you referring to sourdough Irish soda bread?

Hello, i know this is an older recipe, but i was wondering about your rationale for the oil?
Andre,
Oil adds moisture to this bread recipe just as in cake. By the way, I have created a much better bread using Expandex here: https://glutenfreerecipebox.com/udis-gluten-free-soft-white-sandwich-bread-copycat-recipe/.
Enjoy,
Carla
I have never heard of Expandex (I live in Canada). Do you know where I might find it and if I can't, is there a substitution for it?
Hi Darlene,
I don't see it being sold in Canada, but you will find that I have added a link to this recipe in the first paragraph "Expandex" that goes to where you can purchase it online. It's on Amazon. They have International shipping available from their warehouses, but since this is an independent seller I am not sure. you can always check it out and if the shipping is too high, just do not complete the transaction.
Meanwhile, since I developed this recipe, I have made many other gluten free bread recipes that are lower in sodium than most. Check them out in the Gluten Free Bread category: http://glutenfreerecipebox.com/gluten-free-recipes/bread/.
Good luck!
Carla
