When you want a special bread for guests, just as a treat for yourself, or family members, make this bread. It can make whatever you're making, special.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of your bread maker; set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients and add to the top of the wet ingredients.
Using a bread machine with a gluten free setting, follow the manufacturer's instructions. For my Breadman BK1050S, I use setting number 10 for gluten free.
In my machine, after 15 - 20 minutes of stirring, I open the machine and using a silicone spatula, I scrape any loose flour away from the sides and bottom. For non-gluten-free machines, you can do this as you see fit. Let the machine do the rest. Total time is 3 hours in my machine.
If desired, after the stirring has completed (31 minutes after my machine begins), remove the paddle from the machine to avoid a large hole at the bottom. Also, if desired, add oatmeal or your favorite seeds to the top of the bread. Using moistened fingers, pat the oatmeal and/or seeds into the dough using the back of your fingers.
Once baked, remove the kneading peddle, if still in the bottom of bread. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
Slice using a serrated knife, electric meat/bread slicer fitted with a serrated blade, or electric serrated knife.
Use for sandwiches or toast. Freeze leftover slices and thaw as needed in the microwave or at room temperature for a short period.
To Make in an Oven:
Perform the steps above for 1 - 2 in the bowl of your mixer. Beat for 6 minutes using the paddle attachment. Transfer to an oiled 9 x 5-inch loaf pan; allow to rise at room temperature for 40 minutes or until 1-inch over the rim of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Bake on the center shelf for 90 minutes.
Immediately remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack. Slice and store as described in the above instructions.
