Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this amazing gluten-free bread:

IngredientAmount
Water1 ½ cups (heated to 42°C/108°F)
Dry yeast11 grams (approx. 4 ½ teaspoons)
Psyllium husk powder (optional)1 tablespoon
Maple syrup (or honey if preferred)3 tablespoons
Olive oil3 tablespoons
Salt2 teaspoons
All-purpose gluten-free flour mix2 – 2 ½ cups
Egg whites2 large

Instructions

Prepare the Water and Yeast:

  1. Pour 1 ½ cups of water into a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat the water in the microwave until it reaches 42°C (108°F). Use a thermometer to ensure it’s at the right temperature.
  3. Once heated, add 11 grams of dry yeast (approximately 4 ½ teaspoons) to the water and stir until combined.

Add Psyllium Husk (Optional):

  1. If your gluten-free flour mix doesn’t contain psyllium, add 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk powder to the yeast mixture.
  2. Psyllium husk acts as a binder and gives the dough the elasticity it needs for fluffy bread. Mix until smooth (a whisk may help if it gets clumpy).
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it reaches a gel-like consistency.

Incorporate Sweetener, Oil, and Salt:

  1. Add 3 tablespoons of maple syrup (or honey if preferred) to the mixture.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of salt.
  3. Stir until everything is well combined.

Mix in the Flour:

  1. Start by adding 2 cups of all-purpose gluten-free flour mix to the wet ingredients.
  2. Use a mixer to blend the dough for about 2 minutes.
  3. If the dough is too loose, gradually add up to ½ cup more flour until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • Add Egg Whites:
  1. Add 2 egg whites to the dough and mix for another 2 minutes.
  2. Check the dough; if it still seems too loose, add a bit more flour.
  • Transfer to a Loaf Pan:
  1. Scoop the dough into a greased loaf pan. A glass container works well; make sure it’s the right size (check the video description for exact measurements).
  • Let the Dough Rise:
  1. Let the dough rise, uncovered, for about 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Bake the Bread:
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Bake the bread for 35 to 45 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!

Once the bread has cooled, slice it up and enjoy it with a bit of butter, use it for sandwiches, or even freeze it for later. This bread is super fluffy, delicious, and definitely the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever had. Give it a try and let me know how you like it!

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?

Yes, if you’re not gluten-intolerant, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour for the gluten-free flour in this recipe. However, the texture might be slightly different.

2. What is psyllium husk, and why should I use it?

Psyllium husk is a natural fiber that acts as a binder in gluten-free baking. It helps give the dough elasticity, resulting in a fluffier, more cohesive bread. If your gluten-free flour mix already contains psyllium, you can skip adding extra.

3. Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?

Yes, if you prefer or if you don’t have maple syrup on hand, you can use honey instead. It will add a similar sweetness and moisture to the bread.

4. How do I know when the bread is done baking?

The bread should be golden brown on top, and when you tap it, it should sound hollow. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.

5. Can I freeze this gluten-free bread?

Absolutely! This bread freezes well. Just slice it up, place the slices in a freezer-safe bag, and store them in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, simply thaw or toast the slices.
