Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup millet flour
  • 1/3 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup white rice flour
  • 1/4 cup flax seed meal
  • 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil, lightly flavored (melted)
  • 1 packet active dry yeast plus 1 teaspoon sugar (for proofing yeast)
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 cup heated water (around 120 degrees to proof yeast)

Preparation

Step 1

Be sure all dry ingredients and eggs are at room temperature. Grease the bottom of a 10-inch loaf pan (you may use nonstick spray). Heat oven to 200 degrees; turn off right before you put bread in oven to rise.

In the bowl of your standard mixer (use the paddle not the dough hook for this recipe), sift together all dry ingredients (brown rice flour through salt).

In a separate bowl, combine eggs, molasses, water and melted coconut oil. Heat water for proofing the yeast. (I recommend 120 degrees. If you do not have a thermometer, turn on your tap until it gets to the temperature of a warm bath.)

In a small measuring cup, combine yeast and sugar, and then add 1/4 cup heated water. Let the yeast sit for 10 minutes. It should be foamy and active. If not, start over with another packet of yeast.

Once yeast is ready, add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Then add the yeast mixture. Then slowly add remaining one cup water until you reach a cookie-dough-like consistency. (You may not need all of the water, so be sure to add only a little at a time.)

Beat dough on medium speed for about five minutes (do not over-beat or punch your bread as this will make it hard).

Turn oven off. Put dough in prepared pan. Take some plastic wrap, spray it with nonstick spray and place sprayed side face down to loosely cover bread pan. Place in warm oven (I added a pie plate with warm water on the rack below the loaf pan). Bread should double in size, up to the lip of the bread pan.

Take plastic wrap off, heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 40 minutes.
