Have you ever tried rice bread? This delightful, gluten-free alternative to traditional bread is easy to make and perfect for anyone looking to add a new favorite to their baking repertoire. Let’s dive into this simple recipe that will have you savoring every bite of homemade goodness.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
- Prepare the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
- Form the Dough: Pour the yeast mixture and the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky and wetter than traditional bread dough.
- First Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Second Rise: Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy!
