Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Layer Liquids into Bread Pan
Into the bread machine pan equipped with kneading paddle, **add warm water (110°F), egg whites, olive oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar**.
2
Add Dry Ingredients & Yeast Well
Spoon gluten-free flour blend evenly over liquid. Add sea salt in one corner. **Make a small well in center of flour and add instant yeast** (do not let yeast touch wet liquid yet).
3
Select Gluten-Free Setting & Mix
Insert pan into bread maker. **Select Gluten-Free Setting (or Quick 1-Rise Setting), Medium Crust setting, and press Start**. After 5 minutes of mixing, open lid and scrape down corners with a rubber spatula.

Bake, Cool & Slice
When cycle completes (approx. 3 hours), **immediately remove bread pan and cool for 10 minutes**. Turn loaf out onto a wire cooling rack and cool completely for 2 hours before slicing into sandwich slices!
Chef Amara’s Kitchen Secrets & Pro Tips
- Chef's Secret Single-Rise Rule: Gluten-free dough must only rise ONCE — standard 2-rise wheat cycles knock air out of GF dough.
- Corner Scrape Hack: Scrape pan corners 5 minutes into mixing so no dry flour pockets hide in the bottom.
- Vinegar Rise Activator: Apple cider vinegar creates acidic synergy that boosts yeast carbon dioxide gas production!
1. Spoon and Level Your Flour: Never scoop flour directly from the canister with your measuring cup, which packs excess volume by up to 25%. Fluff the flour with a fork, spoon it into the cup, and level the top with a knife. 2. Season in Measured Layers: Introduce small pinches of salt at different cooking stages rather than dumping seasoning on at the end. This draws out moisture and seasons every ingredient to its core. 3.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why did my gluten-free bread machine loaf sink in the middle? A: Sinking happens when liquid is too hot (killing yeast) or there is too much liquid/yeast causing rapid over-expansion before the starches set. Keep water strictly at 110°F (43°C).
Q: Which bread machine setting is best for gluten-free bread? A: Use the dedicated Gluten-Free cycle. If your machine doesn't have a GF setting, use a Quick/Express cycle that has 1 short knead, 1 rise, and a bake cycle.
Q: Do I need to remove the kneading paddle after mixing? A: It is optional, but removing the paddle after the final mix prevents a large hole in the bottom of your loaf!
