I have been hearing from friends and readers, “why don’t you make some gluten free stuff”?  The reason is that with the exception of one cousin, Gluten is not an issue in my family.  Thankfully.  These words have weighed on my mind though.  I try to make things appropriate for the friends or family that come over for dinner.  Since gluten is not an issue, I rarely make something that is gluten free.

I saw the King Arthur’s Gluten Free Bread Mix when shopping at whole foods a couple of weeks ago.  I bought thinking I would give it a try. Makes more sense to try something on me before I serve it to others.  The result was quite good.  I could tell a little difference in taste but very little difference in look and texture.  I found that it grilled up really nicely.  See my later post on Tempeh Bacon Grilled Cheese.

The Recipe

Gluten-Free White Bread (from a Mix)

Print Pin

My first gluten-free bread: a soft white loaf made from a gluten-free bread mix, with butter and eggs. It grills up beautifully.

Rise2 hours hrs 15 minutes mins

Prep10 minutes mins

Cook55 minutes mins

Total3 hours hrs 20 minutes mins

Servings12 slices

Scale

1x2x3x

Ingredients 

• ▢ 1 package gluten-free bread mix, with its yeast packet (I used King Arthur)
• ▢ 4 tbsp butter, melted
• ▢ 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
• ▢ 3 large eggs, at room temperature

Instructions 

• Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, water and eggs and mix until combined.
• Mix in 1 cup of the gluten-free flour mix and the yeast packet. Add the remaining mix, 1 cup at a time, until fully incorporated, scraping the sides as you go.
• Beat for an extra 2 minutes, then scrape into a bowl. The mixture will be quite sticky. Cover with plastic and let sit for 30 to 60 minutes (I let mine go almost 90 minutes).
• Stir to deflate the dough and pour it into a greased loaf pan. Cover with plastic and let it rise again until it comes about 1 inch above the pan, about 45 minutes.
• Bake at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes, until the inside reaches 200 to 210°F. Cool completely before slicing.
