It's easy to prepare—requiring just 20 minutes of hands-on time—and rises beautifully for a bakery-worthy finish. Whether you're avoiding gluten or lactose, this versatile loaf is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or snacking. Say goodbye to dry, dense gluten-free breads—this recipe is your new go-to for delicious, diet-friendly baking!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, almond milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while mixing. Use a hand mixer with dough hooks or a stand mixer on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and sticky.
Grease a standard loaf pan (approximately 8x4 inches) with olive oil or cooking spray.
Spoon the dough into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a wet spatula or spoon to create an even surface.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) while the dough is rising.
Once the dough has risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling completely before slicing.
