My Best Gluten Free White Bread

Yes, I have tried a lot of things, and no they weren't all good, but this bread is exceptional! Try it, you will love it!

4 organic cage free eggs minus 2 yolks
1 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar in the raw
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (I like the California olive ranch brand)
1 teaspoon David's kosher salt (Or regular salt)
1 cup of milk
1 packet of active dry yeast (About 2 1/2 teaspoons)
Mix these ingredients well with a whisk before pouring into the bread machine pan. Next add these dry ingredients.
1 cup tapioca starch (I use Bob's Red Mill for all my flour except brown rice)
1 cup potato starch (Not potato flour)
1 1/2 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup freshly milled brown rice flour (I mill my own from the Lundberg Rice which can be found at Walmart)
Set the bread machine to either basic or gluten free setting. I use basic with a medium crust. Be sure to scrape the sides of the pan with a rubber spatula as it needs to be sure all the dry ingredients are incorporated properly. The last few steps are the best. Wait for it to bake. And let it cool completely before cutting, serving, loading with Kerri Gold butter, and ENJOYING EVERY DELICIOUS BITE! This is a treat not a daily indulgence. Lol.

MORE OPTIONS

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY MONTH I HEAR OF ANOTHER OF MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE EITHER BEEN TOLD TO, OR JUST DECIDED TO GO GLUTEN FREE. IT IS BECOMING SO POPULAR! THERE ARE SO MANY MORE OPTIONS OUT THERE THAN THERE WAS FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST WENT GLUTEN FREE. I JUST HAD SOME PRE-MADE GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES THE OTHER DAY THAT I ONLY HAD TO POP IN THE TOASTER AND THEN SLATHER WITH KERRY GOLD BUTTER. YES, THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD! OF COURSE, HOME MADE IS ALWAYS BETTER WHETHER YOU ARE GLUTEN FREE OR NOT. FOR SOME OF YOU OTHER ALLERGY SUFFERERS YOU MAY FIND THAT HOME MADE IS STILL A NECESSITY FOR THE MOST PART AS IT IS WITH ME. BUT I THINK IN A FEW MORE YEARS EVEN US MORE HARD TO PLEASE PEOPLE WILL HAVE A LARGER SET OF OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM. IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!
HAVE A HAPPY, HEALTHY, GLUTEN FREE DAY!
