Bread that's Gluten-free, Sugar-free, Oil-free and Dairy-free

I was being creative in the kitchen today and came up with this super tasty bread recipe.  If you consider eggs as a dairy, then it's not dairy free.  But in our house eggs are okay, so I've considered it dairy free also. :)  I hope you enjoy this as much as we do.


Jen’s gluten-free, oil-free, sugar-free, dairy-free bread

3 cups GF flour mix
1 cup flaxseedmill (ground flax seed)
4 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1/2 cup peach applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
3 large eggs

In a stand mixer with dough hooks mix first 4 ingredients well, place yeast in center of flour mixture.  In a separate bowl mix water, applesauce and rice vinegar together - pour over yeast but do not mix.  Let stand for 5 minutes.  Turn mixer on low speed, start mixing ingredients together.  When about 1/2 way mixed, start adding eggs 1 at a time.  Continue to mix on high for about 5 minutes making sure to get everything mixed in well. 

Remove bowl from stand mixer, let bread dough rise for 20 minutes in a warm, draft-free place.

Pour dough into large loaf pan, pat down and smooth top (using wet hands helps the dough not stick to you).  Let rise 20 minutes more.

Heat oven to 350.  Bake bread for 60 minutes or until browned on top and thoroughly cooked.  This will be a more dense bread, but it’s super tasty! 

My gluten-free flour mix consists of the following:

12 cups white or brown rice flour
5 cups potato starch (NOT potato flour)
3 cup tapioca starch (tapioca flour is the same as tapioca starch)
Mix all ingredients together well and store in an air tight container.
