Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups brown rice flour

  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/2 cup brown rice protein powder
  • 2-3/4 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 2-3/4 teaspoons gluten free baking powder Featherweight
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 cups + 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 large eggs (or 1/4 cup liquid from canned white beans + 2 tablespoons fat coconut oil, butter, margarine, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup neutral-flavored oil avocado
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or Lyle’s Golden Syrup or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

To Make in a Bread Machine:

  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
  2. In the bowl of your bread machine, add all of the wet ingredients.

  3. Scoop the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients and lock the bowl into place in the bread machine. Choose the setting and press start. Halfway through mixing, using a silicone/rubber spatula, mix in any dry ingredients that the machine missed.

  4. As soon as the mixing cycle stops, remove the paddle from the bottom of the dough. Sprinkle a little water on top of the dough and smooth out using a silicone/rubber spatula. Allow the machine to bake the dough as usual.
  5. Immediately remove the baked loaf from the bowl/pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Then, slice with a serrated knife.

To Make in the Oven:

  1. Add all of the wet ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the whisked together dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for 5 minutes.
  2. Scoop the dough into an oiled baking pan and smooth out the top. Allow to rise in a warm environment (like a proofer or warm oven) until about 1/2-inch over the rim of the pan.
  3. Fifteen minutes prior to the completion of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. Bake on the center shelf for 90 minutes. Remove from the oven and butter the top if you prefer a soft crust on top (the sides and bottom will remain crunchy.) Allow to cool on a wire rack until completely cool, 90 to 120 minutes. Slice with a serrated knife or electric slicer.
