Nutritious and Wholesome
As much as we love bread for its comforting warmth and irresistible aroma, it’s also a significant part of our nourishment. Gluten-Free Pan de Mie, owing to gluten-free all-purpose flour and tapioca starch, is a healthier alternative that doesn’t skimp on the beloved attributes of bread. The addition of olive oil not only makes for a moist crumb but also provides healthy fats. Infused with a hint of apple cider vinegar, this bread carries a soft tang that intrigues the palate and leaves you craving more.
What You’ll Need
- 1 1/2 cups of Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup of Tapioca Starch
- 3 tablespoons of Sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons of Xanthan Gum
- 1 teaspoon of Salt
- 2 teaspoons of Instant Yeast
- 1 cup of Warm Water
- 1/4 cup of Olive Oil
- 3 large Egg Whites
- 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
Method
Step One
Start by combining your dry ingredients in a large bowl. This includes the gluten-free all purpose flour, tapioca starch, sugar, xanthan gum, salt and instant yeast. Whisk them together until they are well combined.
Step Two
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. This will include your warm water, olive oil, egg whites and apple cider vinegar. Stir until everything is fully combined.
Step Three
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously. It’s important to add gradually so that everything mixes evenly and you avoid any clumps. Keep stirring until you have a smooth, well-combined batter.
Step Four
After your dough is fully mixed, you will need to knead it. Since this is a gluten-free bread, you don’t need to worry about over-kneading. Continue to knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic.
Step Five
Place your dough in a greased loaf pan. Set it in a warm, draft-free place to rise. This usually takes about an hour. Your dough should almost double in size.
Step Six
Once your dough has risen, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Bake your loaf for about 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap on the bottom of the pan.
Step Seven
After baking, remove your bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Step Eight
Once your bread is fully cooled, you can slice it and enjoy! This gluten-free pan de mie is great for sandwiches, toast, or just enjoyed plain with a bit of butter or jam.
