GLUTEN FREE CHALLAH BREAD



Gluten Free Challah Bread image

In a quest for 'normal' gluten free bread, I came upon a similar recipe to this, tweaked it, and was delighted with the outcome!! FINALLY a bread that rises, is relatively light, and actually has the tastes and consistency of REAL bread! It also makes great rolls, and while my family ate the bread and rolls with a small amount of jam on them, they would be great as well for sandwiches! Finally a GF variety that you dont have to A) choke down, B) rent a crane to lift while pondering whether you should instead use the loaf in place of bricks, or C) get strange looks of pity from your coworkers as you attempt to eat 4 tiny turkey sandwiches made on dense, crumbly "bread." :) Enjoy!!!

Time 2h25m

Yield 1 loaf, or 18 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups rice flour
1 3/4 cups tapioca flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup lukewarm water
1 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
4 eggs
sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • In mixer, combine the flours, 1/4 c sugar, xantham gum, and salt.
  • Dissolve the 2 tsp sugar in the 2/3 cup of water and mix in the yeast. In a separate bowl combine the butter with the additional 1 cup water and vinegar.
  • With mixer on low speed, blend the dry ingredients. Slowly add the butter/water mixture. Blend in the eggs, 1 at a time. The dough should feel slightly warm. Pour the yeast mixture into the ingredients in the bowl and beat the highest speed for 2 minutes.
  • Place the bowl in a warm spot, cover with greased plastic wrap and a towel, and let rise approximately 1 hour.
  • Return the dough to the mixer and beat on high for 3 minutes. Spoon the dough into a greased, floured loaf pan. Fill 2/3 full, you may bake the remainder in greased muffin tins, etc. (or make all rolls~about 18). Sprinkle tops with sesame seeds. Let the dough rise until it is slightly above the tops of the pans, about 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and bake the large loaf for approximately 1 hour. Bake the rolls 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the dough come together more easily and rise properly.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more gluten-free flour. If it is too dry, add a little more water.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • When shaping the dough, be sure to tuck the ends under so that the loaf is evenly shaped.
  • Bake the challah until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the challah cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free challah bread is a delicious and festive bread that can be enjoyed by people with and without gluten sensitivities. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect challah that is light, fluffy, and full of flavor. So next time you are looking for a special bread to serve at your holiday table, give gluten-free challah a try.
