Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, mix the warm water with the packet of instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, olive oil, and maple syrup.
Pour the liquid ingredients (including the activated yeast mixture) into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. You can use a spatula or a handheld mixer with dough hooks if needed.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top.
Cover the pan loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until the dough has risen by roughly 50%.
Once risen, place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
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 2 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
