Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch bread pan and sprinkle with cornmeal or rice flour.
- Mix flour blend, milk powder, xanthan gum and salt in a mixing bowl until well blended. Using the beater/paddle, mix in the yeast.
- Whisk eggs, vinegar, melted butter, honey and warm water together in a separate bowl.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry, mixing on medium speed until everything is well blended. If the batter seems too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat on medium-high speed for 5 minutes.
- Spoon the dough into the prepared pan only half full. Spray the top of the dough with cooking spray. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top. Spray a piece of plastic wrap and loosely cover the bread (sprayed size down). Place in a warm, draft-free place for 30 minutes, or until the dough rises to within 1/4 inch from the top of the pan.
- Place in preheated 375°F oven on the middle rack, and bake 35 to 45 minutes until golden brown. (Note: bread is done when internal temperature reaches 200°F). Let sit in pan 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
TIP #1 - You can increase the fiber in this recipe without altering the taste by replacing 1/4 cup flour blend with 1/4 cup coconut flour.
TIP #2 - For a slightly crisper crust, add 2 tablespoons cornmeal to the dry ingredients and omit the milk powder.
