Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups warm water 105-115°F
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for greasing
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend ensure it contains xanthan gum
  • 1 cup almond flour or sorghum flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch or arrowroot starch
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast one standard packet
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder for improved texture

Method
 

  1. Prepare your bread maker: Ensure the bread pan is clean and lightly greased with olive oil. Insert the kneading paddle.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour the warm water into the bread pan first. Follow with the olive oil and honey (or maple syrup).
  3. Add the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour (or sorghum flour), tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch), salt, and optional psyllium husk powder. Ensure everything is well combined.
  4. Add yeast: Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients in the bread pan and pour the yeast into it. Do not let the yeast touch the liquid yet.
  5. Start the cycle: Secure the bread pan in your bread maker. Select the appropriate gluten-free or basic bread setting. Start the machine.
  6. Monitor the dough: Most bread makers have a "dough" cycle or will automatically proceed. If your machine has a pause function, you can briefly check the dough consistency after about 10-15 minutes of mixing. It should form a cohesive, slightly sticky ball. If it seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time; if too wet, add a teaspoon of GF flour blend.
  7. Bake: Allow the bread maker to complete its full baking cycle. Avoid opening the lid during the baking process, especially in the first 20-30 minutes.
  8. Cool the bread: Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Invert the pan onto a wire cooling rack and gently shake to release the loaf. Remove the kneading paddle if it remains in the bread. Let the bread cool completely before slicing, at least 1-2 hours, for the best texture and to prevent gumminess.
