Wonderful Gluten Free White Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine yeast mixture, rice flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, cornstarch, vegetable oil, eggs, xanthan gum, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix on medium speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Spoon dough into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top of dough with the back of a wet spoon.
• Place dough in a warm place until it has risen just over the top of the loaf pan, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is medium golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the milk with butter over low heat just until the butter melts. Remove from heat and add to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook. Proof the yeast by adding it to the warm milk and butter. Add the sugar and stir gently to dissolve. Let stand 3 minutes until foam appears. This indicates the yeast is active. Turn mixer on low and gradually add the flour. When the dough starts to come together, increase the speed to medium and add the salt and 1 egg white. Stop the machine periodically to scrape the dough off the hook. Mix until the dough is no longer sticky, about 10 minutes.
• Turn the dough onto the work surface and knead for a minute or so by hand. Knead by folding the dough over itself and pushing out with the heel of your hands, not down. Rotate the dough and repeat. The dough is properly kneaded when you can pull it and it stretches without breaking. Form the dough into a round and place in an oiled bowl, turn to coat the entire ball with oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise over a gas pilot light on the stovetop or in another warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Test the dough by pressing 2 fingers into it. If indents remain, the dough is adequately risen.
• Once the dough is doubled and domed, turn it out onto the counter. The act of turning out the dough naturally deflates the gas, so there is no need to aggressively punch it down. Handle the dough gently, overworking the gluten at this point will produce a dense loaf that is difficult to shape. *To form a loaf, pat the dough into a rectangle, fold the long sides to the middle then fold under the ends. Pinch the seams closed and place in a greased 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, seam side down. Make sure the dough touches all sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise a second time for 20 minutes or until the top of the dough is nearly level with the top of the loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, place a large pan on the bottom rack of the oven. Bring 3 cups water to a boil on the stove. Pour the hot water into the preheated pan to create a steam bath for the bread. This will make a crisp crust.
• Slash dough down the middle of the loaf with a sharp knife to allow the steam to escape during baking. Brush the top with remaining beaten egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the bread for 30 to 40 minutes until crust is golden and internal temperature reads 195 degrees F when checked with an instant read thermometer. The bottom of the loaf should sound hollow when tapped. Immediately remove the bread from the pan and cool completely on a rack.
• * Variation: To make Cinnamon-Raisin Swirl Bread: after the first rise, press the dough out to a rectangle, sprinkle surface with cinnamon and raisins to cover. Roll up like a jellyroll, pinch the seams closed and continue as directed in the recipe.

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients except yeast. May be stored in this condition for months in a ziplock style bag.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease 8 1/2 x 4 1/2" bread pan and flour with rice flour, or grease and flour muffin tins for buns.
• In heavy duty mixer, whisk eggs and vinegar (or dough enhancer), add butter. Add about 3/4 of the warm water.
• Combine yeast with the dry mix and slowly add to the wet ingredients with the mixer on low.
• The mixture should be like a very thick cake mix, add more of the warm water as needed.
• Turn mixer to high and beat for 4 minutes.
• Turn dough out into the pan for baking.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (on top of oven is usually a good place) until the dough has doubled in size.
• Bake in 400F oven for 50 to 60 minutes for loaf, 30 to 40 minutes for rolls. Cover with aluminum foil after 10 minutes for light crust on top, 20 minutes for medium crust on top.
• Remove from oven, allow to cool 20 minutes before cutting for best results.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine water, sugar and yeast. Set aside until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
• In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, combine yeast mixture with remaining ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Spoon into a greased loaf pan. Using the back of a wet spoon, smooth the top of the bread.
• Place in a warm place for 1 hour or until bread has risen just over the top of the loaf pan.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately remove bread from pan. Place on wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• To test your yeast before starting, mix the yeast, sugar and water in a bowl. Let stand for about five minutes, till it's foamy.
• In a large bowl mix the first four dry ingredients (sorghum flour, cornflour/potato starch, tapioca, maise flour) and use a mixer at low speed to throughly blend the dry ingredients. This creates a basic gluten-free flour mix.
• Measure out two cups of the basic flour mix. (Any left overs can be saved for other uses) To the two cups of flour add: the cornflour (or potato starch), Xanthan Gum, and salt. Again use the mixer at low speed to throughly combine the dry ingredients.
• Now add the yeast mixture, margarine (or butter), vinegar, soy milk and three whole eggs (or egg whites if you prefer). Beat the mixture on high for two minutes to create a soft runny batter.
• Use a non-stick (or grease and flour) a 8 1/2" x 4" bread loaf pan. Fill the loaf pan with batter and allow the batter to double in size.
• Pre-heat your oven to 220C (425F). When temperature is reached place bread in oven for twenty minutes or till lightly browned. Then cover with aluminium foil and continue to bake for another twenty minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the centre can be removed clean.
• Turn the bread out on a cooling rack and allow to cool before slicing.

Steps:

• Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine yeast mixture, rice flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, cornstarch, vegetable oil, eggs, xanthan gum, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix on medium speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Spoon dough into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top of dough with the back of a wet spoon.
• Place dough in a warm place until it has risen just over the top of the loaf pan, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is medium golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the dry ingredients in a bowl.
• whisk the liquid separately.
• then mix the two really well for a minute, until they come together into a soft dough.
• Leave for an hour.
• Then, using a lightly oiled worktop and hands,
• Shape into rolls or into a baton for a tin loaf.
• Cover and leave for an hour and a half, until almost doubled.
• Gluten-free dough doesn't have spring, so a very hot oven helps -
• 245C (220C fan-assisted)/475F/gas mark 9.
• Brush the top of the dough with oil and
• bake for 25 minutes (rolls) or 50 minutes (large tin loaf).
• Remove from the oven, and from the tin or tray.
• Leave to cool on a wire rack, covered with a cloth
• this helps keep the bread soft.
