Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

2 hours and 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Equipment

  • Bread machine
  • Bread pan

Method

  1. In the bread pan of your bread machine, combine the warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
  2. Add the honey, vegetable oil, eggs, egg yolk, and salt to the bread pan. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend and xanthan gum.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the bread pan and select the dough setting on your bread machine. Start the machine and let it knead the dough for 10 minutes.
  5. After 10 minutes, check the dough. It should be slightly sticky but not too wet. If it is too dry, add a tablespoon of water. If it is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour.
  6. Let the bread machine finish its cycle. Once it is done, remove the dough from the bread pan and place it on a lightly floured surface.
  7. Divide the dough into six equal parts and shape each part into a long rope.
  8. Braid the ropes together to form a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Cover the loaf with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  11. Brush the top of the loaf with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  12. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

Notes

You can store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 3 months.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use a different type of gluten-free flour blend?

Yes, you can use any gluten-free flour blend that you prefer. Just make sure to add xanthan gum if it is not already included in the blend.

Can I make this bread without a bread machine?

Yes, you can knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer. Just follow the instructions until step 5 and then knead the dough for 10 minutes by hand or with a stand mixer. Proceed with the recipe as written.

Can I use this recipe to make rolls?

Yes, you can shape the dough into rolls instead of a loaf. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your yeast is fresh and not expired.
  • Make sure your water is warm but not too hot. Water that is too hot can kill the yeast.
  • If you don't have xanthan gum, you can use guar gum instead.
  • For a sweeter bread, you can add more honey or sprinkle the top of the loaf with sugar before baking.
