Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water ,heated to 110 – 115 F
- 2 ¼ tsp. active dry yeast
- 3 eggs ,room temperature
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup white rice flour
- 1 cup potato starch
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ½ cup sorghum flour
- ½ cup potato flour
- 3 Tbsp. white sugar
- 1 Tbsp. xanthan gum
- 1 Tbsp. dried Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ tsp. salt
Instructions
- Prepare a 9” x 5” baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add warm water and yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to get foamy.
- While yeast is proofing, in another large bowl, add the flours, starch, sugar, xanthan gum, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir with a whisk until blended.
- When the yeast mixture is ready, add the eggs and oil. Mix on medium speed for a few seconds.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture, mixing on low speed until fully blended.
- Increase speed to medium and mix for 5 minutes to build structure.
- Transfer batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour, until the loaf has almost doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Bake the loaf for 45 – 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes

- Proper mixing time helps build structure in gluten-free baking.

- The bread should feel firm when pressed.
- The toothpick you insert in the center should come out clean.
