Ingredients

¼ cup warm water (about 100°F/37°C)

2 tbsp honey

4.5 grams active dry yeast

1 ½ cups rice flour

½ cup tapioca starch

1 cup sorghum flour (or buckwheat or oat flour as substitutes)

1 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp salt

2 large eggs

2 tbsp oil

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 ½ cups warm water

Instructions

  • Proof the yeast by combining ¼ cup warm water and honey. Stir in yeast and allow to sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, tapioca starch, sorghum flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

  • In another bowl, mix eggs, oil, apple cider vinegar, and the remaining 1 ½ cups warm water.

  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients, followed by the proofed yeast mixture. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend everything into a smooth batter.

  • Pour the batter into a parchment-lined loaf pan, smoothing the top. Let it rise for about 1 hour, until it’s about ¼ inch above the edge of the pan.

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing for best texture.

Notes

  • You can add sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or dried herbs for added texture and flavor.

  • For a sweet variation, try adding raisins or dried cranberries.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based oil.
