  • Digital kitchen scale
  • instant-read thermometer

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose gluten free flour blend (See Recipe Notes)
  • 3 teaspoons xanthan gum omit if your blend already contains it
  • 2.5 teaspoons instant yeast (See Recipe Notes)
  • 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups warm milk (about 95°F)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled (plus more for brushing if using seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Toasted sesame seeds for sprinkling, optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Grease or line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  • In a stand mixer bowl, place flour blend, xanthan gum, yeast, cream of tartar, and sugar. Whisk with a handheld whisk. Add salt and whisk again.
  • Add milk, butter, vinegar, and egg whites, and mix on low speed. Scrape down sides as necessary.
  • Increase mixer speed to medium-high and mix for about 3 minutes until thick and smooth.
  • Scrape the dough into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a wet spatula.
  • Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F near the end of rising time.
  • Remove the cover and optionally slash the top of the loaf. If using seeds, brush with melted butter and sprinkle them on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour; remove lid if using a Pullman pan after 40 minutes.
  • Ensure the internal temperature reaches about 205°F, then allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
  • Slice into 10 equal slices when fully cooled.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality gluten-free flour and measure by weight. Substitute active dry yeast if needed. Use dairy-free options for vegan version. Can freeze for later use.
