Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups gluten free flour blend (see notes)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted, cold)
- 1 ½ cups milk or non-dairy milk (see notes)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F and position the oven rack in the middle to ensure even baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly blended.
- Add Butter and Eggs: Using a cheese grater, shred the cold butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Alternatively, cut the butter in using a pastry blender. Then add the eggs directly into the mixture.
- Incorporate Milk: Pour in the milk or non-dairy milk, integrating the wet ingredients with the dry.
- Mix Dough: Stir the mixture with a large spoon to form a wet dough. If using a stand mixer, add eggs and milk first, then flour and butter shreds, mixing with a paddle attachment for best results.
- Prepare Loaf Pan: Line an 8.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with gluten free baking spray. Transfer the dough to the pan and spread evenly.
- Smooth Top: Wet your fingers and smooth the dough’s surface to eliminate lumps. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake Bread: Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown. Cover with foil if it browns too quickly.
- Check Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; it should come out clean. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
- Cool Bread: Remove the bread from the pan and place it on a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Use a serrated bread knife to slice the cooled bread evenly and serve as desired.
Notes
- Use a gluten free flour blend that suits your dietary needs; blends with xanthan gum are preferred for structure.
- Aluminum-free baking powder ensures no metallic taste and better rise.
- You can substitute cow’s milk with almond, soy, oat, or any preferred non-dairy milk to make it dairy-free.
- Cold butter adds to the bread’s fluffy texture when grated and mixed properly.
- This bread does not require yeast or rising time, making it a quick and convenient gluten-free option.
