Why You'll Love This Gluten-Free Bread
If you've ever wanted fresh homemade gluten-free bread without waiting for yeast to rise, this recipe is the answer. It uses baking powder as the leavening agent, resulting in a soft, tender loaf that's ready in about an hour from start to finish.
The bread slices beautifully for sandwiches, toasts well, and has a light texture that's ideal for everyday use. Best of all, there's no kneading, proofing, or special equipment required.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1¼ cups milk (or unsweetened dairy-free milk)
- ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder (optional, for improved texture)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional for savoury bread)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and psyllium husk if using.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
4. Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
5. Bake
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
6. Cool
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Expert Tips
Measure the flour accurately using a kitchen scale whenever possible. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Psyllium husk improves elasticity and moisture, while apple cider vinegar reacts with the baking powder to create a lighter crumb.
Storage
Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze sliced bread for up to 3 months and toast directly from frozen.
Serving Suggestions
Use for sandwiches, avocado toast, grilled cheese, French toast, breakfast toast with nut butter, or serve alongside soups, salads, and stews.
Recipe Variations
Add sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed meal, herbs, grated cheese, or everything bagel seasoning. For a sweeter loaf, stir in cinnamon and a little extra honey before baking.
