Ingredients

• 400 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 350 milliliters Warm water
• 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 60 milliliters Milk, room temperature

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In another small bowl, combine the warm water, melted butter, eggs, and milk. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.

Step 4

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix on low speed to combine, then increase to medium speed and beat for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and slightly sticky. The dough will have the consistency of a thick batter, not traditional bread dough.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a wet spatula.

Step 7

Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until it has risen slightly and is puffy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough is rising.

Step 9

Bake the bread on the middle rack of the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.

Step 10

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