I have tried nearly every gluten free bread in grocery and health food stores. A few are pretty good but the majority tends to be dry and stiff. Not to mention one loaf usually sets me back at least $5 (though in Hawaii I’ve seen it as high as $9 for a loaf of gluten-free bread). That’s just ridiculous.

Making your own is SO much easier but finding the right recipe makes all the difference. My mother-in-law is a master baker. She tests recipes all the time and helped me to come up with this delicious gluten-free bread recipe.

What’s The Secret To Making The Best Gluten Free Bread?

The secret? It’s the water roux. This process cooks some of the flour before it’s baked. It’s a traditional baking process that adds moisture and softness into bread – and for gluten-free bread that’s a must.

I usually serve this bread as toast in the morning for my boys before school and often use it as a gluten free sandwich bread to pack school lunches. And as grilled cheese… YUM!

Ingredients
 
 

Water roux

Yeast mixture

Flour mixture

Instructions
 

  • Combine yeast mixture ingredients and let the yeast activate for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Mix water roux ingredients in a small pan and heat on a stove top until the mixture is thickened or about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Mix flour mixture ingredients together, then add yeast and water roux ingredients. Mix together well for a few minutes in a food processor to make a bread dough.
  • Heat oven to 350°F/180°C.
  • Grease a bread pan with butter and add the bread dough. Let sit on top of the stove (which is heating up) for about 30 minutes.
  • When bread dough has risen, carefully place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Take the bread out of the bread pan and place on a baking sheet, then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes at 350°F/180°C. This seems to cook the bread more evenly and gives the edges a nice crispy texture.
  • When done, take it out of the oven and let it cool down. Don’t cut it while hot.

    1. Good question. I’m not sure. I like to sour the milk a bit to give it texture and keep it moist. I’m not sure how to sour non-dairy milk. If you give it a try, please let me know so I can inform my readers too.

      1. You can sour non dairy milk the exact same way you do dairy milk. Coconut or almond or soy milks work the best but I hav3 even done it with rice milk and oat milk. I am trying this recipe with non dairy milk and egg replacement of flax meal because my kiddos allergies. I will let you know how it turns out!
