Gluten-Free Cheese Bread
(makes 1 loaf)
2 cups rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1/2 cup potato starch
2 T. granulated sugar
2 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
2 tsp. bread machine yeast
1 1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup water
2 tsp. cider vinegar
2 T. vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 egg whites
- lightly grease 9 x 5 loaf pan
- Using stand mixer put wet ingredients (water, vinegar, oil, eggs, and egg whites) into mixer bowl and mix until combined
- add rice flour, 1 cup at a time as the mixer runs on slow or stir setting
- add potato starch and tapioca starch and mix
- stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl to ensure the flours are mixing into the wet
- add sugar, xanthan gum, and salt, mix on low speed
- add all cheese except 1/4 cup, mix
- add yeast while mixer is mixing on low. Once yeast has been added turn mixer to medium speed and mix for 5 minutes
- place mixture into prepared loaf pan*, sprinkle remaining cheese on the top of the bread and let rise, covered for 1 1/2 hours or until bread has risen to top of loaf pan
- Preheat Oven to 350 F (do this about 10 minutes before dough has finished rising)
- place bread into oven and bake on middle rack for 35 minutes.
* you may have to use a wet spatula to help spread the dough around evenly in the loaf pan.
HINT- you can premix the dry ingredients in ziplock bags so that when you want to make bread you won't have to measure as much. It saves a lot of time to do this.
ENJOY!
