Easy Gluten Free Bread in the Bread Maker

I’ve been gluten free for over 10 years, which will forever be my way of life. I don’t eat a ton of bread in general, but I hate spending $6-10 on each loaf from the store. I’m trying to make everything from scratch to save money and know exactly what’s going into my body. I got a bread machine for Christmas and my first two tried, they turned out like bricks. Flavor and texture was way off. My sister has also been trying different recipes in her bread machine and she came up with the perfect, easy bread recipe!

Here is the bread maker I have which came from Amazon. We have not tried this recipe in the oven so go at your own risk and let me know if you try it! Bread maker’s are so cool because it handles every step for you. You just add all your ingredients and press go. Easy Peasy!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups of water (room temp)

• 1/4 cup oil (I used extra virgin olive oil)

• 3 eggs (room temp)

• 1 1/4 tsp salt

• 4 Tbsp sugar

• 3 1/4 gluten free flour (I use THIS, just make sure it has xanthan gum)

• 2 tsp active dry yeast (I use THIS, but it’s cheapest from Walmart or grocery store)

Instructions:

1. Measure our all of your ingredients and set them out to reach room temperature

2. Make sure your paddle is placed in the bread maker

3. Add wet ingredients in this order: water, oil, eggs (I cracked and lightly stirred my eggs before I added them)

4. Add dry ingredients: gluten free flour, salt, sugar

5. Make a small well in the center of the top of the flour and add your yeast. Do not stir or let yeast touch the wet ingredients

6. Close the lid and start up your machine. Here are the settings I used, however, your machine might be different than mine, so adjust accordingly.

   • Setting 7 - or the Gluten Free Setting if it has it

   • Change color setting to “Light”. GF Breads tend to darken faster than regular breads

   • Change the weight setting to 1.5 pounds

7. Hit Play/Go and let it do it’s thing! Mine takes 3 hours on this cycle and smells SO DANG GOOD!

I have learned over the past few weeks that a lot of variables can go into making bread. Temperature. Altitude. Weather. Order in which the ingredients touch… the list goes on. I find that taking notes along the way has helped me improve my recipes. Let me know if you try it and how it turned out!

Enjoy!
