Fluffy Gluten Free Sandwich Bread Maker Bread

A mouth full for a title. Ingredients needed:

  • 3 cups plain gf flour
  • 1/2 cup pan white corn flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons yeast
  • 1/8 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 2 teaspoons psyllium husk powder
  • 1 tablespoon or more of nutritional yeast
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups milk I used store bought oat, cows milk works great. I can’t have dairy. Any dairy free milk will work in this recipe because of the psyllium husk added. You can also use water.
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil or butter
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil (for flavour)

Add all dry ingredients to the bowl and stir. This will help prevent large psyllium husk lumps. Do not skip this step! After dry ingredients are well mixed, add liquids in slowly while mixing on low. When thickening turn up to medium to medium high speed. Then continue to mix when all wet ingredients are added until there are no lumps. Then add to bread maker. The dough she be like a dense batter. But not runny.

Let the bread maker do the rest! You should see results like this below

The dense dough. Thicker than batter but too wet for dough is the right consistency. If it looks thicker and more doughy than this then it needs more hydration. Less hydrated gluten free dough leads to a rock hard exterior and dense crumb. Hydration is key but you need to look for a consistency rather than measure it out.
The dough and early proofing. The ripples soften out.
Rise from baking with a few splits. It’s still baking and might never go golden on top. It can help to spray or baste the top layer just before baking or in the last 30 mins of baking to help golden the top. I don’t care if it’s golden. I care how it tastes.

You can smell the sesame oil as it bakes. It just has a nice bread scent. The psyllium husk adds a bit of a bread like flavour as well and makes it a lot less bland.

Here is the loaf cooling

Here is the loaf sliced after coolingw

It makes a soft and slightly chewy bread. Soft and flexible. Great for sandwiches.

The sesame and nutritional yeast add much needed flavour otherwise it’s just too bland.

I will continue to make more bread maker posts as well.
