A soft, fluffy, and tender gluten-free sandwich bread that’s easy to make at home with simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for sandwiches, toast, or a comforting bite straight from the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (210g) gluten-free flour blend (rice flour and tapioca starch recommended)
  • ½ cup (50g) almond flour (blanched)
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F / 43°C), honey, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Beat eggs lightly, then add olive oil (or melted butter), apple cider vinegar, and the frothy yeast mixture.
  4. Mix dough: Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Use a stand mixer with a dough hook or a sturdy spoon to blend until smooth and sticky. The dough will be looser than traditional bread dough but should hold together.
  5. First rise: Transfer dough into the greased 9×5-inch loaf pan, smoothing the top with a wet spatula or lightly oiled hands. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm spot. Let rise for 45-60 minutes until puffed up.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The internal temperature should reach about 200°F (93°C).
  7. Cool completely: Remove bread from pan and cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before slicing to avoid gummy crumb.

Notes

Use flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water) for an egg-free version. Substitute olive oil for coconut oil for a subtle coconut flavor. For dairy-free, use olive oil instead of butter. Measure flours precisely by spooning and leveling. Keep water temperature warm but not hot to activate yeast properly. Cover dough during rising to prevent drying. Cool bread completely before slicing to avoid gummy texture.
