15 minutesCook Time
2 hours and 30 minutesIngredients
- 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
- In the bread pan of your bread machine, combine the warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
- Add the honey, vegetable oil, eggs, egg yolk, and salt to the bread pan. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend and xanthan gum.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Divide the dough into six equal parts and shape each part into a long rope.
- Braid the ropes together to form a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the loaf with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
