A quick and easy gluten-free bread recipe that yields soft, perfect loaves with a moist and springy texture. Ideal for beginners and those seeking a reliable, everyday gluten-free bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) gluten-free flour blend (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour)
  • ½ cup (55g) almond flour (can substitute oat flour)
  • 2 ¼ tsp (7g) instant yeast
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend contains it)
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature (or flax eggs: 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water for egg-free)
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast (10 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine warm water (110°F/43°C), honey, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit until bubbly and foamy.
  2. Mix dry ingredients (2 minutes): Whisk together gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt in a separate bowl.
  3. Add wet ingredients (3 minutes): Add eggs and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Beat lightly until combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry (3-5 minutes): Gradually add dry flour mix into wet ingredients while mixing on medium speed. Dough will be sticky; add water by tablespoon if too thick.
  5. First rise (45-60 minutes): Cover bowl loosely and place in a warm spot until dough puffs visibly.
  6. Shape and prepare loaf pan (5 minutes): Grease loaf pan. Transfer dough into pan, smoothing top gently with wet spatula or hands.
  7. Second rise (20-30 minutes): Let dough rise again in pan, covered, until slightly puffy.
  8. Bake (35-40 minutes): Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake on middle rack until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool completely (at least 30 minutes): Remove loaf from pan to cooling rack. Let cool fully before slicing to prevent gumminess.

Notes

Use fresh yeast for best rise. If loaf browns too quickly, tent with foil after 25 minutes. Let bread cool completely before slicing to avoid gummy texture. Sticky dough is normal for gluten-free bread. Xanthan gum is important unless already included in flour blend.
