Ingredients

• 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum included)
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.25 cups Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Oil (for greasing pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine instant yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl), combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix milk, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and eggs. Whisk until fully blended.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture. Beat on medium speed (or stir with a wooden spoon if mixing by hand) for 5 minutes until the dough has a smooth and sticky consistency. Scrape the sides of the bowl if needed during mixing.

Step 6

Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Scoop the dough into the greased loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula or spoon, smoothing the surface.

Step 8

Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size and is slightly domed above the pan.

Step 9

Toward the end of the rise time, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Place the loaf in the preheated oven on the center rack and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped lightly on top.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 12

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
