Kari’s GFCF Bread Machine Recipe


1¼ c coconut milk or other milk alternative, at room temp
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 eggs, at room temp
¼ c coconut oil
¼ c raw honey
1 Tbsp yeast
3 1/3 c Silvana’s GF Flour Blend*
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp sea salt
 

Add liquid ingredients to bread machine.  Then add dry ingredients. 

Bake in a regular bread machine (you don't need the fancy one with a GF bread cycle) and about 3 hours later you have a delicious loaf of gluten / casein free bread!

Note: Always scrape the sides of the bread machine pan with a spatula a few minutes after starting the mix cycle. Gluten free bread doesn't pull itself together in a ball like regular bread dough so some of it tends to stick to the sides and it needs a little help to mix in.


6 cups white rice flour
3 cups tapioca starch
1 1/2 cups potato starch
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons xanthan gum

In a large bowl, mix together and store in airtight container.

Lindsay’s GFCF Bread


1 Tbsp ground flax seeds
3 Tbsp warm water
1 1/2 c tapioca starch
1 c sorghum flour
1/2 c potato starch
3 tsp xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp creme of tartar
3 Tbsp sucanat
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 1/3 c warm water
3 Tbsp expeller-pressed coconut oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Mix the ground flax with warm water. Beat with a fork. Let sit for at least 5 minutes until it thickens.

Mix all other dry ingredients, including yeast, in mixer bowl.

Pour 1 1/3 cups warm water into a 2-cup glass measuring cup.  Stir in the coconut oil, stirring until it melts.  Add the eggs and the flax mixture; mix well.

Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix in mixer until blended. Scrape sides to get it all mixed in.

Grease a bread loaf pan with Spectrum organic shortening. Pour dough in; cover with plastic wrap and let sit until it doubles in size -- about 40-50 minutes.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 55-60 mins until toothpick comes out clean. Let it sit 5 mins. Then place onto wire rack to cool. Cool completely before slicing.
