Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups 350g gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if flour blend already contains it
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast 1 standard packet
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water 110°F / 43°C
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 large eggs

Method
 

  1. Step 1 Combine warm water, sugar, and instant yeast in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
  2. Step 2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Step 3 Add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and eggs to the activated yeast mixture. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Step 4 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a sturdy spatula for 3 to 4 minutes. The dough will be thick and sticky, similar to a thick batter.
  5. Step 5 Transfer the dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Smooth the top with a wet spatula. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the dough reaches just above the rim of the pan.
  6. Step 6 Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reads 205°F (96°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
  7. Step 7 Remove from oven and let the bread cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. This step is essential — cutting too early will result in a gummy interior
