This is a great quick bread and you can add seeds for extra flavour if you wish. It slices very well and has the texture of ordinary wheat bread. Tastes great toasted with lashings of butter

10 servings
  1. 110 gramscornstarch
  2. 110 gramspotato starch, not flour
  3. 55 gramswhite rice flour
  4. 55 gramsarrowroot
  5. 55 gramsground almonds (or 55g rice flour + 2tsp oil)
  6. 2 tspsalt
  7. 2 tspcaster sugar
  8. 2 tspxanthan gum
  9. 1eighth of a tsp vitamin c powder
  10. 14 gramsfast action yeast
  11. 2 tbspolive oil
  12. 420 mlwarm water

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 20 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to gas 6 / 200C / 400°F and grease & flour a 2lb loaf tin

  2. 2

    Sieve together the flours, salt, sugar & xanthan gum. Stir in the yeast, vitamin c and ground almonds/rice flour and mix well

  3. 3

    Measure out 420mls tepid water and add the oil to it

  4. 4

    Pour 400mls onto the flour mix and beat until smooth. The dough should be firm enough to keep its shape but soft enough to fall slowly from the spoon. Add more water a tbsp at a time until you reach that consistency

  5. 5

    Pour the mix into the loaf tin, smooth over with the back of a wet spoon

  6. 6

    Sprinkle a topping of choice over the top if desired. Millet or buckwheat flakes, poppy or sesame seeds for example

  7. 7

    Bake for 45-60 minute until the bread is crisp and golden on all sides. If the base & sides are pale turn the loaf upsides down in the tin and bake for another 10 minutes. When it's done it should sound hollow when tapped on the base

  8. 8

    Remove from the tin and set on a wire rack to cool. Don't slice until it's completely cold. Store wrapped and in an airtight container for 2 days or slice and freeze. Makes a medium loaf

  9. 9

    Variations:

  10. 10

    For brown bread use 2tsp dark brown sugar in place of the caster sugar and add in 1tbsp rice bran. If avoiding almonds use 55g potato starch + 2 tsps oil. Bake as above

  11. 11

    For bread rolls grease and flour a baking sheet. Drop tablespoons of the mixture on it neatly and smooth down with the back of a wet spoon. Sprinkle the tops with millet flakes, buckwheat flakes, poppy or sesame seeds if desired and bake at the same temp for 15 - 20 minutes until browned all over

  12. 12

    Vitamin c / citric acid helps extend shelf life in gluten-free baking. Add 1/8tsp to any breads or cakes to keep them a little longer
