What Sets This Bread Apart
This bread appeals to a wide range of taste buds, boasting a robust flavour that is distinctive yet subtle. On the inside, it is soft, while a light crust adds just the right crunch on the outside. But it is the unique combination of gluten-free flour blend and gluten-free whole grain blend in our recipe that results in a texture that is remarkably similar to its gluten counterparts. The use of apple cider vinegar, a digestive and immunity booster, also adds a delicate tang to the bread.

What You’ll Need
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1 cup gluten-free whole grain blend
- 1 packet (1/4 ounce) of yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 eggs
Method
Step One
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step Two
Next, prepare a 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan. Grease it well with some cooking spray or lightly coat with olive oil.
Step Three
In a large bowl, combine all your dry ingredients – the gluten-free flour blend, gluten-free whole grain blend, yeast, xanthan gum, salt, and white sugar. Stir until well mixed.
Step Four
In another bowl, add the warm water, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and eggs. Beat them together until well blended.
Step Five
Gradually add the liquid mixture into your dry ingredients bowl. Mix them all together until the consistency is smooth. Make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated with no lumps.
Step Six
Pour the bread batter into the greased loaf pan and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Step Seven
After the dough has rested, place it in the preheated oven. Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step Eight
Allow the gluten-free whole wheat bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, move it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free bread!
