In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum (if using), salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
With the mixer on low or while stirring by hand, gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Slowly add the warm water to the mixture, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix until the batter is smooth and slightly sticky. Gluten-free bread dough is more like a thick batter compared to traditional dough.
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a French bread mold, and transfer the dough into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula dipped in water to create an even surface.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until it reaches just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the bread is rising.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the center reads at least 200°F (93°C).
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
