Why make your own gluten-free bread?

Shop bought bread is full of all kinds of strange ingredients and often includes eggs. I am trying to move away from adding eggs to bread (it seems rather odd if nothing else).

Plus, avoiding adding eggs means that it’s easier to make the bread vegan which can only be a good thing for all the gluten-free vegans out there.

Instead I rely on my quality gluten free flour blends plus natural bread ingredients.

If you are not sure what a gluten free flour blend is then I’d suggest that you read What On Earth Is…A Gluten Free Flour Blend? It will save you having any more baking disasters.

Ingredients for Gluten & Dairy-Free Bread for a Bread Maker

Psyllium husk powder

The only ‘odd’ ingredient I add is psyllium husk powder which acts as a gluten replacer.

If you don’t have any psyllium husk powder then you can replace that with xanthan gum.

I prefer to use psyllium husk powder, ground flax seeds and chia seeds as my gluten substitutes because they are just seeds ground up and are therefore more natural.

Gluten Free Flour from the Free From Fairy

If you want to make this bread you’ll need my wholegrain gluten free plain flour blend.

Flax Seeds (or Chia Seeds)

A flax or chia egg is a great vegan egg-alternative to use in this vegan bread machine recipe.

To make a flax egg, just mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal and three tablespoons of water then let it sit for around 15 minutes until thick and gloopy.

Vegan eggs help to give this gluten-free bread structure in the same way that gluten would in regular bread as they absorb water and thicken the dough.

But don’t worry, for this recipe I tell you exactly what to do with your flax or chia seeds in the recipe card below.

You just add them to the bread maker pan along with the other ingredients and they’ll gradually develop the desired properties to bind the bread dough together properly.

Does this Dairy & Gluten-free bread keep well?

Being homemade, don’t expect a long shelf life for this homemade vegan and gluten-free bread.

If you don’t eat it on the day or day after you bake it, it will be dry; perfect for toast or bread crumbs but not so good for sandwiches.

I personally prefer the fact that my vegan bread maker bread goes dry. It is simply unnatural for shop-bought bread to last so long and the reason it does is because of all the preservatives and gums that are added.

Think about the French. You wouldn’t catch them keeping bread for more than one day!

If you do want the bread to last longer then slice it and freeze it. All you need to do when you want it, is heat it through in the microwave until warm and it will be just like it was from the oven.

Can you make this Vegan Bread without a bread maker?

Yes you can. If you don’t have a bread machine then I recommend you use a mixer like this Sage Mixer to mix up the dough. This ensures the ingredients are well combined and the dough forms properly.

Firstly, combine the dry ingredients using the K-beater. Allow the dry ingredients to mix for 30 seconds. The great thing about this Sage mixer is that it has a timer on it.

Once the dry ingredients are combined, add the wet ingredients and mix at the folding/kneading setting (or a low setting) for 1 minute. Scrape off the scraper and mix again for another 30 seconds.

The mixture will then be ready to transfer to a greased tin. I highly recommend using this particular loaf tin. It is perfect for gluten free bread because it is narrow with high sides.

When you bake gluten free bread the biggest trouble you’ll have is getting it to rise. With the correct tin the dough will reach the top of the tin and provide a slight dome.

Due to the lack of gluten you’ll never get gluten free bread that will hold its form above the top of a tin. This is why you need a tall tin to assist with getting the best looking loaf you can.

Cover the tin with a damp tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for approx. 1 hour until it has reached the top of the tin.

Then transfer to a pre-heated oven. You’ll need to get the oven really hot before adding the bread. I suggest getting the oven to 220 degrees C fan before adding the bread. You’ll then want to turn the temperature down to 180 degrees C fan.

Bake the bread for 45 minutes. Then remove from the tin, place on a baking tray and cook for around 10 minutes more until it sounds hollow when you tap the bottom.
