Homemade Bread Recipe

[GF Lover]

Hi All.

I need a yummy homemade bread recipe, easy on the stomach, for sammies and toast.

I have low tech equipment. An oven and bread pan.

Also if I make extra dough, can I freeze it in loaf form for cooking at a later time, just for convenience.

If recipe contains flours not easily found in the grocery store, please give Internet source for purchase.

Thanks for the help. Be well and full with bread.

I use a Kitchen Aid stand mixer to make bread, but it is do-able with a hand mixer if you are patient. We did it on vacation.

This is a Basic Sandwich Bread recipe.

Ingredients

2 cups white rice flour

OR we often use 1 cup brown rice flour or 1 cup garbanzo bean flour in place of 1 of the cups of white rice flour for higher protein/ fiber content.

1/3 cup tapioca flour

2/3 cup potato STARCH (NOT potato flour)

1 TBLS. xanthan gum

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons sugar

1 1/3 cups lukewarm water

1 tablespoon fast rise yeast (Fleishmann's is gluten-free)

2 tablespoons butter

2 egg whites

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

1. In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, place flours, xanthan gum, and salt. Blend with mixer on low.

2. In a small bowl , dissolve the sugar in the water, then add yeast.

3. Wait until the mixture foams slightly, then blend into the dry ingredients.

4. Add the butter, egg whites, and lemon juice. Beat on high for 3 minutes.

5. Spoon dough into greased 4X4X8 loaf pan. (Pam works fine) Use the HEAVY kind of bread pan.

6. Cover the dough with a paper towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 45-60 minutes. (we heat the oven for one minute and shut it off just to warm it up and then, place the dough inside)

7. Take it out of the oven after it rises.

8. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 18 minutes and then:

9. LOWER THE temperature to 365 degrees. Bake for 42 more minutes for total of 60 minutes.

10. Remove from pan to cool on a rack. COOL completely before slicing.

Or you could BUY Gluten Free Pantry Bread Mix and make the bread that way.

It's a tasty loaf!
