Prep. Time: 10 minutes mixing, 30 minutes rising
Baking Time: 25-28 minutes
Yield: 1 8×5 loaf
Free of Gluten, Dairy, Processed Sugar, Corn and Soy.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sorghum flour

- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1 Tablespoon yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup warm rice milk (110-120 degrees F)
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 egg and some milk for the egg wash
Optional toppings: coarse sea salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
- Heat the rice milk to 110-120 degrees and slowly pour it into the dry ingredients with the mixer on low.
- Add the honey and continue to mix
- Increase the speed of your mixer to medium and drop in the coconut oil one Tablespoon at a time.
- Crack the eggs, one at a time, into the mixing bowl and continue to mix on medium.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and mix for one or two more minutes, until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl slightly.
- Place the mixing bowl with the dough in a warm spot for 30 minutes. Cover it with a towel.
- Using a spatula, shape the bread into a loaf onto a greased cookie sheet. The dough will be very sticky, so better to use the spatula than your hands on this one.
- Brush the loaf with the egg wash and sprinkle on any desired toppings.
- Put the bread in your oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and crusty all over.
