Gluten Free Bread

Here are some of my "go-to" gluten free bread recipes:

Gluten Free Flat bread

I make this every week--we use this for sandwiches, also good with peanut butter, or just plain!!

Ingredients

1 1/2 c brown rice flour
1/2 cup gluten free oat flour (or can use brown rice flour, sorghum, or other whole grain)
1/2 c tapioca starch
1/2 c potato starch
3 tsp xanthan gum
4 Tbsp sugar (1/4 c)
4 1/2 tsp (or 2 packets) Fast acting Yeast
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c warm water
2 tsp cider vinegar
4 Tbsp olive oil
4 eggs

Instructions

Mix water, yeast, sugar in small bowl & let sit. Mix dry ingredients in bowl of stand mixer, then add water/yeast & remaining wet ingredients. Cover 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or cooking spray & divide batter evenly, spreading as thinly as possible. Tap indentations with a fork, then let rise about 30 minutes in a warm spot. Bake at 425 degrees for around 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned (switch pans around halfway through)

Udi's copycat Bread Recipe

This recipe is supposed to be a copycat of the overpriced, tiny loaves of Udi's bread you can buy in the grocery store. One of my picky daughters loves this bread, and this recipe is the closest I've found to replicating it. Not the most nutritious bread (mostly starches) but pretty tasty & good for picky kids! You can find the original recipe here:
Extraordinary Life
This recipe works great but it is for a smaller bread pan (8x4 works). My version is below--I made a few changes to simplify it and make it quicker (original recipe takes 2 1/4 hours, mine is more like 1 1/2), and I also doubled it because 1 tiny loaf doesn't last long in my house. Rather than loaves of bread, I often use this dough to make rolls, or "blobbies", as my kids call them, which we use for sandwiches, hamburger buns, etc..., can also use to make breadsticks (after baking coat with butter/garlic), or make bierocks or "hot pockets" by filling with meat, cheese, etc...
This also makes a delicious thick, fluffy pizza crust- just press the dough into 2 pizza pans or cookie sheets (it will be sticky, I use a plastic baggy with oil on it to press it down gently). Prebake about 8-10 minutes then add toppings and bake to desired crispiness.

 Ingredients:

2 cups Tapioca Starch
1 cup Brown Rice flour
1/2 cup oat flour (or another 1/2 cup brown rice or other whole grain flour)
1/2 cup Potato starch
4 Tbsp Sugar
4 1/2 tsp rapid rise yeast
4 tsp xanthan gum
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups warm water
4 eggs
4 Tbsp Olive Oil

Directions:

Combine dry ingredients, then add wet and mix thoroughly. Put into 2 greased 8x4 bread pans, or put in 3-4" "blobs" for rolls on 2 parchment/silpat/cooking spray lined cookie sheets (if doing rolls, you can wet your hands and smooth out the shapes to make them more round). Put in warm spot to rise 45 minutes, then bake at 350 degrees for about an hour for bread (will need to cover with foil partway through to avoid overbrowning the top), or 15-20 minutes for rolls.

Oatmeal Maple Bread

This is one of my favorites and makes a double loaf. It has instructions for dairy-free but I make it using melted butter and sometimes substitute honey for syrup (which I guess makes it Oatmeal Honey Bread but still delicious!). The oat topping is optional. As always, make sure to use certified gluten free oats.

1 1/2 c gluten free oat flour

1 egg
1/3 c honey
1 Tbsp oil

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes (cover with foil after 20 if necessary to prevent over-browning).

Multi-Grain Hamburger Buns

Ingredients:
1 c warm water
2 tsp yeast

2 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 eggs
1/4 c oil
3/4 c brown rice flour

Bread Mixes

Pamela's Gluten Free Bread Mix  Slightly sweet and tasty- I buy this mix in bulk and use it for pizza crust, rolls, and other things!

Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix Not my favorite taste-wise but it is good fresh, and pretty nutritious as it contains some bean flour. One of my picky daughters only likes this bread so go figure!

Pizza

We make pizza usually once a week, it's one of the few things everyone likes!

There are a lot of pizza crust recipes out there, my family has different preferences but here are some we like. (Note that one of our current favorites is using the "Udis copycat bread" dough recipe from above.)

Pizza Crust #1

This one is from Gluten Free Homemaker. This recipe makes 2 medium sized pizzas depending on your pan size. She also has a single crust recipe here, and I have found using a triple batch of her single crust recipe is enough to feed my family (and this is about the max amount of dough my stand mixer can handle at one time). I put that on 2 rectangle cookie sheets & 1 round cake pan. That's also the max amount my oven can manage at once! 

Pizza Crust #2

This one uses Pamela's bread mix. I buy these in the 3lb bags in bulk from amazon (they make delicious bread too, and pie crusts!). This crust is slightly sweet, and super yummy!

Pizza Crust #3

This is a good, plain tasting crust (as in it doesn't have any "weird gluten free flour flavors" my family likes (be sure not to overbake)
