You're going to want to make everything with this gluten-free bread. Deli style sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, gluten french toast ... everything.

I posted a gluten-free bread recipe back in early 2015. It was okay, but it wasn't the best gluten-free bread. It had a little bit of a quick bread texture.

I also now have a gluten free bread recipe for the bread machine (see further down if you use a gluten-free bread machine).

Easy Gluten Free Bread Recipe Using 1:1 Gluten Free Flour

Just look at the texture in this easy gluten-free bread. It's amazing. The gluten-free loaf featured in this picture could've used a few more minutes in the oven but I'll talk more about that below.

Please, please read through this post. I share my experience and what worked and didn't when I was reworking this gluten-free bread recipe.

When I first made this gluten-free bread recipe I used my gluten-free flour blend. It works great, but I realized it needed something more.

Best Gluten Free Flours

I tested several different flour blend options before settling on the winner, the one that I think makes the best gluten-free bread. See the recipe card for the gluten free bread recipe that readers are loving.

Here are some additional options for making this gluten free bread recipe. Note that these substitutions will yield slightly different results. If you decide to go with one of these substitutions, you will need to replace all the flours and starches in the recipe with the following, everything else stays the same:

This gluten-free dairy-free bread recipe was originally developed for the oven but I have a gluten-free bread machine recipe version below for those that like to us a bread machine.

Gluten Free Tipsy Honey Butter Bread

For a gluten free vegan bread version of this gluten-free bread recipe, you can use chia-eggs or Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer (2 eggs worth).

I've only tested this gluten free egg free bread recipe in the oven. I haven't tested the egg-free version in a bread machine.

Swap out the 3 egg whites with 2 tablespoons of chia seed + 7 tablespoons of water (let sit for 5 minutes and stir before you add it to the mixture). Or use Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer and mix up 2 eggs worth.

Artisan Sourdough Bread With All Purpose Flour {soft, Crisp & Chewy!}

These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below.

I still can't get over how amazing this gluten-free sandwich bread is. It's better than any gluten-free bread I've had and my family, including my gluten-eating husband agrees.

This gluten-free bread is also dairy-free. I've tested it with dairy (milk for activating the yeast and butter instead of oil) and I found it to add to the quick bread texture.

Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe (with Almond Flour)

If you want this gluten-free bread to have the same texture as deli style sandwich bread then you need to use water when activating the yeast and oil instead of butter.

Trust me. Plus, it's less expensive to use water and oil in gluten-free bread recipes than it is to use milk and butter.

Gluten

I use xanthan gum in this gluten-free dairy-free bread recipe. I feel it yields the best results. Not everyone can have gums.

Healthy Flour Substitutes And How To Use Them

You can use psyllium husk powder (not full husks) in this recipe. I only tested it once, but I used 3 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder in place of the xanthan gum - yes, that reads 3 TABLESPOONS.

Psyllium husk powder is not a 1-to-1 for xanthan gum. Again, I only tested this one time so I cannot claim that this is the best sub for xanthan gum.

This gluten-free bread recipe works best when baked for 60-65 minutes in the oven or on the gluten-free setting in a bread machine.

Gluten Free All Purpose Flour 500 G

You might read that a loaf is done baking once it hits around 200 degrees F. Please bake this loaf 60-65 minutes even if your thermometer says otherwise.

Don't substitute anything in this gluten free bread recipe unless I specified above that I've tested it. This is important. If you substitute something I can't guarantee anything and I can't help you troubleshoot if something doesn't work in your gluten-free bread.

Ingredients at room temperature work best. You can always run your eggs under warm water for a couple of minutes to bring the temperature up.

Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend

If your bread sinks in the middle before it is done baking you most likely let the yeast proof sit too long before using it or you let your bread rise too long. You want to put your gluten-free bread in the oven when it rises just above the top of the loaf pan, no longer.

Make sure your water is between 95-110 degrees before adding the yeast. If you don't have a thermometer I suggest you get one.

The

Line the loaf pan with parchment paper and then spray it with oil, this will help you remove the loaf from the pan.

Pan size matters. If you use a wider pan your loaf will be wider, and shorter. If you use a narrower pan your loaf baking time might change.

If you prefer to make this gluten-free bread recipe in a bread machine make sure you have one with a gluten-free setting. I have a Zojirushi bread machine and it makes a beautiful loaf and is my preferred gluten-free bread machine. There are other bread machines, just follow their instructions if they are different.

This gluten free bread recipe was developed using a 9 x 4 inch metal loaf pan. You can use a different size loaf pan but you'll want to watch the cook time. Also, it won't have the same rise, depending on the size.

You can also make this bread recipe in a glass loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Metal and glass pans transfer heat differently and gluten free bread loaves typically have a thicker crust when baked in a glass pan.

Easy Gluten Free Artisan Bread (no Knead, Dairy Free)

This fresh-baked bread stays soft for 2-3 days after it's been baked. You'll want to let it cool to room temperature before you slice it. We like to store it whole, in a sealed container, or wrap it tightly with cling wrap, and slice it as we need it.

Yes, you can freeze this gluten free bread loaf. After it has completely cooled, slice the loaf into equal slices. We like to place a piece of parchment paper or in between each slice, so it's easy to pull it out of the freezer.

Simple

You can either defrost the bread in the microwave or you can let it sit at room temperature until it has thawed.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Homemade Bread (egg Free Too!)

For your bread machine, does it have a gluten free setting? This setting is important because it only does one mix cycle, not two mix cycles like you get with other settings.

If you don't have the gluten free setting option, use a quick program that features one mixing cycle, rather than two, when making gluten free bread. Mixing it twice will always cause the bread to be denser.

Are you scooping your measuring cup into the flour? Or spooning the flours into the cups and then leveling? You should always spoon then level.

Soft, Fluffy Buckwheat Bread (gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Are you storing your flours in the freezer or refrigerator? If flours are stored that way they lose moisture and when they are mixed with other ingredients they tend to absorb more of the moisture and the bread is denser.
