Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve your yeast in the tap water. Then add the sugar if using sugar. Allow this to sit for about five minutes to allow the yeast to react.

Now add the sugar alternative, salt, and olive oil to the bowl and mix.

Add three cups of flour alternative and mix. Then add another three cups and mix until the flour alternative seems to form. Note that you will not get the perfect 'dough ball' like you may get with actual flour.

Getting the dough ready

Sprinkle the remaining flour alternative on nonstick surface an place the dough on top of this. Knead this for about a minute. If the dough is really sticky add additional flour alternative.

This dough will most likely have be somewhat sticky as we are using an all purpose (AP) gluten containing flour alternative.

Sprinkling a bit of actual AP flour over this can help resolve it if the sticky feel of the dough bothers you enough.

Now for the rising of the bread.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover lightly with a dish towel. Allow your dough to double in size- about 1 1/4- 1 1/2 hours.

I like to place my bowl up high on top of my refrigerator where it is a bit warmer in my kitchen. Meanwhile your can grease your loaf pans (2) for use.

When your dough has doubled in size you can punch it down and divide it in half. Dusting with a bit more flour alternative or even AP flour can help make handling the dough easier.

Shape the dough in the pan.

Shape the dough to the loaf pan, cover it with a dish towel again, and allow it to sit for until doubled again (about a half hour or so).

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350. If adding an optional topping, sprinkle this on now.

Place the loaves in the center of the racks if possible. Bake for 35- 40 minutes or until it begins to brown.
