Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten free flour blend
• 1 3/4 teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if your blend already contains it)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 5 eggs (at room temperature)
• 1/2 cup warm milk (about 95°F)
• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature, roughly chopped)

Directions

Follow these simple steps to bake magic!

1. Prep the pan: Grease and line a standard 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan, and set it aside.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, sugar, yeast, and cream of tartar.
3. Add salt: Toss in the salt and whisk again to combine.
4. Combine wet ingredients: Add in the vinegar, eggs, warm milk, and butter.
5. Mix it up: Beat on medium-low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to medium-high speed for at least 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and beat on high for another 2 minutes.
6. Transfer dough: Move the dough into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it firmly into the corners. Smooth the top with a moistened spatula.
7. Let it rise: Cover the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap and place it in a warm, draft-free spot. Let it rise until it reaches the top of the pan—this will take anywhere from an hour to a lot longer! (Patience, my friend!)
8. Preheat: When it’s puffed up beautifully, preheat your oven to 375°F.
9. Score the loaf: Remove the plastic wrap, and score the loaf down the center at a 45° angle, cutting about 1/4 inch deep.
10. Bake to perfection: Bake for 25 minutes, rotate the pan 180°, and bake for another 20 minutes.
11. Get that crust you love: For a soft crust, wrap in aluminum foil and bake an extra 5-10 minutes, or until it reaches at least 190°F inside.
12. Cool it down: Remove from the oven, let it cool on a wire rack, and slice to serve!

How to Serve Gluten Free Brioche Bread

This bread is a versatile superstar in the culinary world. Try toasting slices with a pat of butter until golden brown, then drizzle with honey or slather on some nut butter.

The warm aroma will have everyone drifting into the kitchen, and the mixture of soft bread and crispy edges is just divine!

How to Store Gluten Free Brioche Bread

Tips to Make Gluten Free Brioche Bread

• Room Temp Eggs: Make sure your eggs are at room temperature to help everything blend nicely.
• Measure Flour Accurately: Too much flour will lead to a dense loaf, so keep it precise.
• Good Rising Environment: Find a warm spot for the dough to rise; it loves cozy, draft-free spaces!
• Watch the Dough: Overproofing can lead to sad, deflated bread, so keep an eye on it.
• Experiment with Milk: If you’re out of warm milk, almond or oat milk work great too!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding in some mix-ins like chocolate chips or fresh blueberries for a twist! You can also experiment with different dairy-free butters to keep it vegan—your tastebuds will thank you!

FAQs

1. Can I make this gluten-free brioche ahead of time?
Definitely! You can prepare the dough a day in advance and let it rise in the fridge overnight.

2. What if I don’t have xanthan gum?
If your gluten-free flour blend doesn’t come with xanthan gum, you can substitute it with guar gum or simply omit it if it’s not needed.

3. Can I freeze this bread?
Absolutely! Slice it first and freeze in an airtight container. Just remember to thaw it at room temperature when you’re ready to eat.
