This Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread is soft, light, and perfect for making sandwiches, toast, or even breakfast snacks. Unlike many gluten-free breads that can be dry or crumbly, this recipe gives you a soft texture that holds together well.

Making gluten-free bread at home is a great way to control ingredients and get fresh, healthy bread without preservatives. This recipe uses simple pantry ingredients and is easy to follow, even if you are new to gluten-free baking.

The key to success is using the right flour blend and keeping the dough soft. Gluten-free dough is not like regular dough—it is more like a thick batter. Do not worry if it feels sticky; that is normal.

Ingredients

• 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
• 1 1/2 cups warm milk (or dairy-free milk)
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 1/4 cup oil or melted butter
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a bowl, add warm milk, sugar (or honey), and yeast. Mix gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, add gluten-free flour and salt. Mix well.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients
Add eggs, oil (or melted butter), vinegar, and the yeast mixture into the flour. Mix everything well using a spoon or mixer. The batter will be thick and sticky.

Step 4: First Rise
Cover the bowl and let it rest in a warm place for 45–60 minutes. The dough will rise and become airy.

Step 5: Transfer to Pan
Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Pour the dough into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6: Second Rise
Let the dough rest again for 20–30 minutes until slightly risen.

Step 7: Bake the Bread
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown on top.

Step 8: Cool Before Slicing
Remove from the pan and let it cool completely before slicing. This helps keep the bread soft and prevents it from breaking.

Tips & Tricks

• Use room temperature ingredients for better results.
• Do not add extra flour; the dough should stay soft and sticky.
• Line the pan to prevent sticking.
• Let the bread cool fully before cutting for clean slices.

Notes

• You can add seeds (chia, sunflower, flax) for extra nutrition.
• Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
• Slice and freeze for longer storage.
