Ingredients

2 ½ cups gluten free flour blend (* See notes)
2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder

1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs

5 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted depending on preference)
1 ½ cups milk or non-dairy milk (* See notes)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350º F and position the oven rack in the middle.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Using a cheese grater, shred the cold butter into the dry ingredients. Alternatively, cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender. Then add the eggs to the mixture.

Step 4: Pour in the milk or non-dairy milk.
Step 5: Mix the ingredients with a large spoon until a dough forms. If using a stand mixer, add eggs and milk first, then the flour and butter shreds, and mix with a paddle attachment.
Step 6: Prepare your loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with a gluten free baking spray. Transfer the dough into the pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7: Wet your fingers and smooth the top of the dough to remove lumps. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Step 8: Bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown. If the top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil towards the end.
Step 9: Remove from oven and check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready; if not, bake a bit longer.

Step 10: Carefully remove the bread from the pan and place on a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing with a serrated knife.

Tips & Variations

Use a high-quality gluten free flour blend for the best texture and flavor.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter and milk with plant-based alternatives.

Smoothing the top with wet fingers helps achieve a neat, even crust.
Adding seeds like sesame or poppy on top adds a pleasant crunch and extra flavor.

Storage

Store the bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the sliced bread in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, toast slices directly from frozen or warm in the oven.

FAQs

Can I use a different flour instead of gluten free blend?

Using other flours may affect the texture and rise, so it’s best to use a gluten free blend designed for baking for the fluffiest results.

Why does this recipe not require yeast?

This bread relies on baking powder as a leavening agent, which creates a quick rise without the time needed for yeast fermentation. It’s ideal for a fast and easy gluten free bread.
