5 Delicious Gluten-Free Bread Recipes with Premium Gold Flour

The demand for gluten-free baking has skyrocketed over the last few years, not only due to celiac disease but also because of general health consciousness and dietary preferences. For those who love bread but need to avoid gluten, finding delicious recipes can be a challenge. Premium Gold Flour, known for its quality, gluten-free mixes, provides an excellent base for these recipes. Here are five mouthwatering gluten-free bread recipes that you can easily make at home.

Classic Gluten-Free White Bread

The foundation of any good baking recipe lies in the quality of ingredients. For this recipe, we'll use:

• 2 cups Premium Gold Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 packet yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 egg whites

Steps to Bake:

1. Activate the yeast by mixing it with sugar and warm water. Wait for it to froth, which usually takes about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the Premium Gold Gluten-Free Flour, salt, and olive oil.
3. Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks and fold them into the flour mixture.
4. Pour in the yeast mixture, and mix well until you get a dough.
5. Shape the dough into a loaf, place it in a greased loaf pan, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for an hour in a warm place.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the bread for about 45 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped.

🍞 Note: Using egg whites instead of whole eggs can make the bread fluffier and increase its volume.

Savory Gluten-Free Cheese and Herb Bread

For those who enjoy savory flavors, this bread is a treat. Here’s what you'll need:

• 3 cups Premium Gold Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup milk (or non-dairy substitute)
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cheese, and herbs.
3. Gradually add milk and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough into the loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle extra cheese and herbs if desired.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown on top.

🧀 Note: The cheese provides extra flavor and moisture, keeping the bread soft longer.

Gluten-Free Seeded Multigrain Bread

Here’s how to add some nutritious variety to your bread:

• 2 cups Premium Gold Gluten-Free Multi-Blend Flour
• 1/2 cup assorted seeds (like sunflower, flax, and sesame)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet yeast
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 eggs

Steps:

1. Activate yeast with warm water and honey.
2. Mix the flour, seeds, and salt in a bowl.
3. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and oil, mixing until dough consistency is achieved.
4. Place dough in a loaf pan, let it rise, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes.

🌱 Note: Multigrain bread might require a longer proofing time due to the dense mix of seeds.

Fluffy Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread

If you're in the mood for something sweet, this recipe is perfect:

• 2 cups Premium Gold Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

3. Mix wet into dry until just combined.
4. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes.

🎃 Note: Pumpkin adds moisture which is essential for gluten-free baking to prevent dryness.

Crisp Gluten-Free Flatbread

To end our bread baking journey, let's try something simple yet delicious:

• 1 cup Premium Gold Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Mix
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Herbs or seeds for topping (optional)

Making Flatbread:
