Equipment
Ingredients
- 3⅓ cups Cathy's GF Bread Flour Blend
- 2½ teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1⅞ cups warm water (110-120℉) (43-48℃)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Spray or wipe the inside of a metal loaf pan with cooking oil.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.3⅓ cups Cathy's GF Bread Flour Blend, 2½ teaspoons instant yeast, 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- In a large liquid measuring cup, measure out the warm water. Stir in the honey, oil, and vinegar.1⅞ cups warm water, 2 tablespoons honey, 1½ tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture in the mixer bowl and run the machine on the second lowest speed for 4 to 5 minutes, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl. The dough should be very soft and moist, but not stick to your fingers. Transfer the dough to your oiled pan.
- Cover the dough loosely with oiled plastic wrap and set the pan in a warm place to rise until the dough has almost doubled in volume (45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes).
- If your oven has a steam option, use that and add the water now. Preheat the oven to 450℉ (232℃).
- Bake your loaf of bread in the center of your preheated oven for 10 minutes with steam. You can also accomplish a steam bake by adding a pan of ice cubes to the bottom of your oven.
- Remove the pan of ice. (The water in my steam oven has evaporated by this point.) Reduce the temperature to 400℉ (204℃), and bake for about 35 minutes more. The outside should be very golden brown and feel crusty when you tap it.
- Set the bread to cool on a wire rack. Remove it from the pan within 10 minutes of taking it out of the oven. Let it cool completelyefore slicing.
