Ingredients
For the yeast
- 2 ½ tsp dry active yeast
- 1 ½ cup water between 95°F-110°F
- 2 tsp sugar
For the bread
- 1 cup (145g.) white rice flour
- ½ cup (60g.) almond flour (or millet flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 egg whites (75g.)
- ¾ cup (92g.) potato starch
- ¾ cup (85g.) tapioca starch
- ¼ cup (25g.) ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup oil of choice
- 1 tsp salt
Method
- Set aside a metal loaf tray lined and lined with parchment paper a
- Mix the sugar and yeast into the warm water (95-110 degrees F) and keep it for 5-10 minutes, but no longer.
- While the yeast is setting up, combine the flours, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Reduce the speed of your mixer to low and mix just until well blended.
- Add the oil, egg whites, vinegar, and proofed yeast mixture while the mixer is still running.
- Mix for an additional 2 minutes on medium speed with the mixer. The resulting dough will be thick and sticky.
- Using a rubber spatula, transfer the dough to your prepared loaf container, filling in the corners and leveling the top. Smooth the top with wet fingers.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the loaf pan, covered with a lightly oiled piece of plastic wrap.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F when the dough reaches the top of the pan.
- Bake for 60–65 minutes after removing the plastic wrap. Cover the bread loaf with foil halfway through baking to prevent it from over-browning.
- Remove the bread from the oven and set it aside to cool completely before cutting.
- Slice the bread and store it in an enclosed container at room temperature for up to four days or in the refrigerator for up to a month.
