Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasonings.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Mix: Pour the warm water, olive oil, and eggs into the dry ingredients. Mix the mixture until a smooth dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Transfer Dough to Pan: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula for an even bake.
- Bake the Bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to maintain texture and prevent sogginess.
Notes
- Ensure the water is warm (not hot) to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
- Using gluten-free all-purpose flour blend suitable for baking yields the best results.
- The bread sounds hollow when tapped if baked through, which is a reliable doneness test.
- Letting the bread cool completely before slicing prevents crumbling and maintains its structure.
- This recipe can be doubled to make two loaves if desired.
