Homemade Gluten Free Bread
Do you ever find yourself wishing you had a little bread to sop up a bowl of soup, serve with your gluten-free pasta, or enjoy with your breakfast spread? I don’t know about you, but I think a simple slice can compliment almost any meal.
But I hate wasting my money on store-bought brands that turn out dry and cost too much. That’s why I love this recipe for homemade gluten free bread!
It’s paleo friendly, it has the softest texture, and you only need 10 ingredients to make it. How great does that sound?
Plus, from start to finish, a full loaf only takes about an hour. Just mix all the ingredients, pour the batter in the pan, and let it do its thing in the oven. No kneading, no complicated process, simply mix and bake.
If you’ve been craving bread but don’t want to try yet another disappointing brand from the store, give this homemade gluten free loaf a try. It may become your new favorite way to bake!
What Gluten Free Flour Is Best For Bread?
When it comes to gluten free baking, almond flour is the star of the show. It’s grain free, gluten free, and paleo friendly.
Plus, almond flour is a good source of vitamins and minerals. It packs in way more nutritional value than your typical all-purpose white flour.
Baked goods made with almond flour will be a bit denser than those made with white flour. As a general rule, you always want to use at least one extra egg in a recipe where you’re substituting almond flour.
Is It Less Expensive To Make Your Own Gluten Free Bread?
Yes! That’s one of the reasons I love this simple recipe so much.
All of the ingredients in this recipe are pretty inexpensive per serving. When you only need a ¼ cup of something like psyllium husk powder, it’s going to last you a long time.
So you can feel good knowing that your gluten-free and paleo bread is actually cost-effective, too. Oh, and it tastes so much better than most store-bought brands!
Why Do We Use Vinegar In Homemade Gluten Free Bread?
Because almond flour and psyllium husk powder are denser ingredients, we want to give our batter as much opportunity to rise as possible.
Apple cider vinegar will help create an acidic environment that allows the batter to rise while baking. It’s important for that fluffy, wonderful texture we want in our bread.
It also adds just a hint of flavor. Don’t worry, we’re not making sourdough here or anything — it’s just a touch of tang that makes the bread oh-so-tasty.
What To Serve With Gluten Free Paleo Bread
Anything you like! Seriously… wherever you would normally use bread, this recipe will fit perfectly.
You could serve it with some low carb chicken salad for a tasty lunch or snack. Use one slice for open-faced or two slices for a traditional chicken salad sandwich.
It would also be perfect with white chicken chili or chicken curry. What better way to scoop up all that extra sauce?
Of course, you can always enjoy a toasted slice with a simple pad of butter, a little of your favorite jelly, or some smashed avocado. It’s great for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up!
