1 Hour Gluten Free Bread Recipe

1 Hour Gluten Free Bread Recipe

Is it possible to make homemade gluten free bread in 1 hour? Jaime shows you the recipe she uses every week for gluten free bread, how she stores it, and what she does with the leftovers.

1 Hour Gluten Free Bread Recipe:
1.75 cups gluten free flour blend (see flour video for recipe or use your own blend)
1.75 cups ground gluten free oatmeal
1 egg
4-5 Tbsp butter or lard (or combo)
0.75 Tbsp Xanthan Gum (optional)
0.75 Tbsp baking powder
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

For the Yeast:
1-1.25 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
1.5 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 Tbsp sugar (or honey)

Mix yeast ingredients in a bowl and allow yeast to rise. Blend all bread ingredients in a food processor. Add yeast mixture and blend until just incorporated (do not over-blend). Bread should be the consistency of thick cake batter. Add more water or flour as needed. Pour into greased cast iron pan and set in warm oven (100 degrees F) until batter has risen to top of pan. Once risen, turn heat up to 350 degrees and bake for 50 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 180-190 degrees. Remove from oven and remove from pan to cool. Allow to cool completely before cutting (or it will be very soft).

*Note if pan is too full it will rise over the top. If this happens, just clean up edges and continue baking.
