Everyday Bread - Gluten Free

Ingredients

3-1/3 cups GF all purpose flour blend (1 cup sorghum flour, 1 cup brown rice flour, 1 cup white rice flour, 1/3 cup tapioca starch) 

3-1/2 tsp guar gum 

1/2 cup Non-Fat Dry Milk Powder 

1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar) 

1 3/4 tsp salt
2 large Eggs 

1/4 cup Vegetable Oil 

1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons Water
1 Tbsp Active Dry Yeast

Directions

1. Grease a 9x5 bread pan. 
2. Combine 1/4 cup of the total water (warm) with 1 tbsp of total sugar and then sprinkle with yeast. Allow to sit 5-10 mins until foamy (proofing). 
3. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl (including remaining sugar). I used the bowl of my stand mixer, which I will use to beat the mixture later. 

4. In another bowl, combine the remaining water, oil and eggs. 

5. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, including proofed yeast mixture, and mix well. 

6. Beat the batter with paddle attachment until smooth; approximately 2 minutes (or by hand). Batter will be sticky and wet, like a cake batter. 

7. Form batter into boule in the bowl, cover with a dish towel, and allow to rise for about an hour. 

8. Then pour batter into bread pan and smooth out top (shaping to look like a loaf of bread) with a rubber spatula dipped in water (prevents it from sticking to the spatula). 

9. Let rise again for about an hour or until the batter is slightly above the rim of the pan.

10. Bake in a 375°F pre-heated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 mins cover with tin foil and continue baking for another 25 mins. (50 mins total) 

11. Cool briefly (5 min); remove from pan and cool thoroughly on a rack.
