Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Yield: 1 loaf (12 slices)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour or almond meal
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal
• 1/4 cup cornstarch or tapioca starch
• 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with removal.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, flaxseed meal, cornstarch, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, vegetable oil, eggs, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. The batter will be thick and sticky.
5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown. If the bread starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips and Tricks

Nutritional Information

Substitution Options

• For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or another non-dairy milk in place of the water.
• For a vegan option, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg).

Wine or Beverage Pairings

Pair your delicious gluten-free bread with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, or a light-bodied red wine, like Pinot Noir. Alternatively, enjoy your bread with a refreshing iced tea or lemonade.
