Ingredients You’ll Need
Dry Ingredients
- Gluten-free 1:1 flour blend: Choose a baking blend designed to replace all-purpose flour.
- Baking powder: Gives the bread lift without yeast.
- Xanthan gum: Add only if your flour blend does not already include it.
- Salt: Makes the loaf taste more balanced.
- Sugar or honey: Adds light sweetness and helps the crust brown.
Wet Ingredients
- Eggs: Help the bread hold together and create a sliceable crumb.
- Warm milk: Adds moisture and softness. Use dairy-free milk if needed.
- Oil or melted butter: Keeps the bread tender and less dry.
- Apple cider vinegar: Helps improve lift and texture.
Optional Toppings
- Sesame seeds: Add a bakery-style sandwich bread look.
- Everything bagel seasoning: Great for savory toast and breakfast sandwiches.
- Rolled oats labeled gluten-free: Add a rustic top if tolerated.
- Flaky salt: Adds a savory finish for sandwich bread.
Best Flour Tip
Use a gluten-free flour blend made for baking. If the blend already has xanthan gum, skip the extra xanthan gum so the bread does not become gummy.
Important Gluten-Free Note
If you are baking for someone with celiac disease or strong gluten sensitivity, use certified gluten-free ingredients and clean tools, pans, counters, and cutting boards to prevent cross-contact.
