Gf French bread

Nice chewy soft bread and a bit of crunch to the outside.

INGREDIENTS 

2 cups rice flour (white or brown)

1 cup tapioca flour

1 tablespoon xanthan gum

1 teaspoon gf baking powder 

1 teaspoon salt

1 and 1/2 cups lukewarm water (105-110F)

1 and 1/2 tablespoons gf quick rise yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 egg whites lightly beaten 

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 

Directions 

Mix flours,  xanthan gum, salt and baking powder 

Another bowl mix water and sugar and once dissolved add yeast— let it foam while you do next step.

Beat egg whites slightly adding oil and vinegar.

Mix all ingredients together snd pour into separate 8” bread pans which have been greased.

Let rise free from drafts- I sometimes put in oven with light on.

Let rise about 30 minutes remove from oven if you have had it there. Preheat oven at 400 F. Once heated place bread in oven for 25 - 35 minutes until nicely browned. Remove from pans and cool on rack 10 minutes or so before slicing.
