Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 large Eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 large Red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and yeast.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.

Step 4

Whisk together olive oil, eggs, and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then pour in the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined. The dough should be thick but sticky.

Step 6

Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it just reaches the top of the pan, about 25-30 minutes.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

For the Red Pepper Spread: In a blender or food processor, combine roasted red peppers, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 11

Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if necessary.

Step 12

Serve the gluten-free bread with a generous serving of red pepper spread on top.
