Gluten Free Challah Bread

Description

In a quest for 'normal' gluten free bread, I came upon a similar recipe to this, tweaked it, and was delighted with the outcome!! FINALLY a bread that rises, is relatively light, and actually has the tastes and consistency of REAL bread! It also makes great rolls, and while my family ate the bread and rolls with a small amount of jam on them, they would be great as well for sandwiches! Finally a GF variety that you dont have to A) choke down, B) rent a crane to lift while pondering whether you should instead use the loaf in place of bricks, or C) get strange looks of pity from your coworkers as you attempt to eat 4 tiny turkey sandwiches made on dense, crumbly "bread." :) Enjoy!!!

Ingredients

Serves : 1
  • 2 sesame seeds


  • 1 3⁄4 tapioca flour


  • 1⁄4 sugar


  • 2teaspoons sugar


  • 3 xanthan gum


  • 1⁄2 salt


  • 2⁄3 water


  • 1cup lukewarm water


  • 1 1⁄2 tablespoons yeast


  • 4 butter


  • 1 apple cider vinegar


  • 4 eggs


  • sesame seeds

Directions

  • In mixer, combine the flours, 1/4 c sugar, xantham gum, and salt.
  • Dissolve the 2 tsp sugar in the 2/3 cup of water and mix in the yeast. In a separate bowl combine the butter with the additional 1 cup water and vinegar.
  • With mixer on low speed, blend the dry ingredients. Slowly add the butter/water mixture. Blend in the eggs, 1 at a time. The dough should feel slightly warm. Pour the yeast mixture into the ingredients in the bowl and beat the highest speed for 2 minutes.
  • Place the bowl in a warm spot, cover with greased plastic wrap and a towel, and let rise approximately 1 hour.
  • Return the dough to the mixer and beat on high for 3 minutes. Spoon the dough into a greased, floured loaf pan. Fill 2/3 full, you may bake the remainder in greased muffin tins, etc. (or make all rolls~about 18). Sprinkle tops with sesame seeds. Let the dough rise until it is slightly above the tops of the pans, about 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and bake the large loaf for approximately 1 hour. Bake the rolls 25 minutes.
