  • Method: Baked
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum included)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar; whisk until smooth.
  4. Stir in gluten-free flour, almond flour, and salt. Beat with a hand or stand mixer for about 5 minutes on medium speed until thick and sticky.
  5. Spoon the dough into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a wet spatula.
  6. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 40–45 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and the top sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to prevent gumminess.
  9. Serve plain, toasted, or topped with butter, honey, or your favorite spreads.

Notes

For best results, use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum. Beat the dough longer than traditional bread dough—gluten-free batters need extra aeration. For a crisp crust, brush with olive oil before baking. Store in an airtight container for 2 days at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze sliced bread and toast directly from frozen for a perfect texture.
