Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread once baked.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Make sure these ingredients are evenly distributed for a consistent dough texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Pour in the warm water, olive oil, and eggs into the dry mixture. Stir and mix until the dough becomes smooth and uniform, without lumps.
- Transfer Dough to Loaf Pan: Spoon the smooth dough into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top evenly so that it bakes with a uniform shape.
- Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. The bread is done when its crust turns golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool the Bread: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool inside the pan for 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to maintain texture and avoid sogginess.
Notes
- Ensure water is warm, not hot, to activate yeast properly without killing it.
- You can substitute olive oil for another mild-flavored oil if preferred.
- Allow bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Store bread in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
- For a softer crust, cover the bread with a clean kitchen towel while cooling.
