I Cant Believe It's Gluten Free Bread

Nurse Rain's Note:

I have tested this recipe many times in many ways, and it is really faboulous bread. Make sure you don't overmix the dough, and only let it rise once when its in the pan. Xanathan gum is expensive but it lasts a very long time. I have subbed many different gf flours in this recipe, and they all turned out "fine" but this one is "fabulous".

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 loaf

• 2 cups rice flour, WHITE
• 1 cup Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
• 3 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons yeast

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well.
2. Put eggs in your bread machine, and program to "dough". Let it beat the eggs for you. Then add the rest of the wet ingredients.
3. Once mixed, stop the machine. Add dry ingredients on top of wet, and top with the yeast.
4. Turn the bread machine back on to "dough". Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the dough often. I let the machine mix the dough for about 4 minutes, scraping often, then turn the machine off.
5. This dough will be very loose and sticky. Pour into a greased 9x5 bread pan and smooth over the top. Brush with melted butter if desired. Top with seeds etc if you like.
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place breadpan on top of stove, cover with tea towel and wait half an hour until it has doubled in size. Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes until brown and fragrant. Remove from pan immediately or it will get soggy.
7. I slice it once its cooled and freeze it in a ziplock bag. Makes really great french toast and sandwiches.

I just made this. It was very easy and very good. Very dense and moist. I will definitely be making this again! Awesome recipe Nurse Rain!!!!

It's ok toasted, but it is really sticky even after being cooked. Not one we liked very much. Sorry.

Better than any I've tasted - including the GF bread mixes you buy at high $$! I'd love a recipe that turned out this good that could be made either with just the bread machine or just the oven but all in all it didn't take that long to make it - just more dishes. We don't use much bread in our diets since going GF because the taste and cost but I think that is about to change! Hello toast and ow so good french toast and ow to dream of an actual sandwich again!
