This gluten-free bread is quite tasty and easy to make. My recipe is loosely based on Gluten-Free Vegan's recipe, but I don't care for chickpea flour and I can't eat xanthan gum due to my corn allergy. I was sooo happy with how high this loaf rose, considering it is yeast-free. It just so happens to also be corn-free, dairy-free and vegan. You could make this nut-free by substituting your favorite flour for the almond flour. AND…you don't need a bread machine to make it! I liked this so much that the next time I make this I'm going to measure out extra amounts of the dry ingredients to put into plastic freezer bags and store them in the freezer for future no-fuss bread making.
Dry ingredients:
1 1/2 cups potato starch flour
1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup rice bran
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1 teaspoon salt (My friend Christine suggested more salt – you decide.)
2 tablespoons baking powder (I use this gluten-free/corn-free brand.
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons guar gum (If you can tolerate xanthan gum, Carol Fenster has concluded the perfect combination is equal parts of xanthan and guar gum.)
Wet ingredients:
2 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Extra water as needed
Toppings:
Sesame Seeds
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Stir flours, starch, salt, gum, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined.
- Whisk together oil, 2 cups water, molasses, and apple cidar vinegar in a small bowl.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and stir together just until thoroughly mixed, not too much.
- Pour mix into oiled bread pan. Sprinkle top of loaf with seeds, and lightly spray with oil.
– Cover bread pan with foil, and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes. Remove foil, and bake another 10 minutes, or until top is brown. Test loaf with a skewer or knife to make sure it’s done.
- Cool in pan briefly, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. For best results, store in the refrigerator and slice off pieces as you need it. After two days I like to slice up the bread, slip it into plastic freezer bag, and store in the freezer to use as needed.

Do you have a substitute for rice bran?
groshk, sorry for the delayed reply, just saw this here. I would try flax meal. I haven’t done it, but I would get creative with anything textured. Maybe even quinoa flakes. Tell me if you discover something new!
Is it ok to use regular molasses instead of blackstrap molasses?
Denise…yeah…regular molasses should work just fine. In fact, you could probably sub honey or coconut nectar or yacon. They all have pretty much the same consistency. Might change flavor just a hint. Let me know how it turns out!
