Easy Homemade Gluten-Free Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum included)
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
• 1 1/2 cups warm waterabout 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons oil or melted unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
2. Add the warm water, olive oil/butter, and cider vinegar/lemon juice to the dry ingredients. Stir using a wooden spoon or a mixer with a paddle attachment until the ingredients are well combined. The dough will be wetter and stickier than traditional wheat bread dough.
3. Transfer the dough to a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan and smooth the top with wet hands or a spatula.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 30 to 60 minutes, or until the dough has risen close to the top of the pan.
5. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. Once the dough has risen, bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Slice and enjoy your fresh homemade gluten-free bread!
