Easy Gluten-Free Cheese Bread

My two girls, Asia (14) and Raina (9) love this cheese bread so much.  They devour a loaf in no time and keep asking me to make more.  It's easy to make, smells heavenly, and satisfies both girls.  What could be better?  Here is my mixer method.  Enjoy!

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!
