Granny's Gluten Free Oven Baked Bread

This bread was so great in the breadmaker we begged Granny for the oven baked version. Contributed by Sharon Gilman. Thanks Sharon!

Ingredients

3 ½ cups Namaste Perfect Flour Blend or Namaste Organic Perfect Flour Blend
1 ½ cups milk, any kind
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. oil
2 Tbsp. honey or agave nectar
½ cup cornstarch, arrowroot or tapioca starch
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs
1 Tbsp. yeast
¼ cup warm water

Directions

  1. Mix yeast in ¼ cup warm water and set aside for 5 minutes. Warm milk, add oil, honey and cider vinegar. Beat (room temperature) eggs and add to milk mixture. Add yeast mixture to milk mixture and blend using a whisk or hand blender on low speed.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine Perfect Flour Blend, starch of your choice and salt. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and blend on medium speed with hand held electric mixer for 3 minutes. Pour into well greased loaf pan. Cover loosely with sprayed waxed paper or plastic wrap and towel and let rise for 30 minutes in warm place. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Cover loosely with foil tent to prevent over browning and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for another 35-40 minutes. Let cool completely.
  4. To store, securely wrap in plastic wrap and place in ziplock bag. Use within 3-4 days if stored at room temperature or slice entire loaf, wrap securely and freeze for up to 1 month.

Variations

  • Serving suggestion: slices best if allowed to cool completely first. Excellent warmed up and served with butter and honey!
  • To make French Bread or free-form bread we suggest you heavily oil your bowl, then dump the finished dough onto the baking sheet. Wet your hands and gently work it into loaf shape. Bake for about 45-50 minutes at 350°F.
