Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
rising time 25 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 2 loaves

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice flour (I used white)
  • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 tablespoons fast rise yeast
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 egg whites, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

Instructions

  • Combine the flours, xanthan gum, and salt in the large mixing bowl of a stand mixer and blend on low speed.
  • In a small bowl combine the sugar and yeast. Slowly pour in the warm water while stirring. Wait until the mixture foams slightly, then blend into the dry ingredients.
  • Add the butter, egg whites, and vinegar and beat on high for 3 minutes.
  • To form loaves, spoon dough onto greased and cornmeal-dusted cookie sheets in two long French-loaf shapes or spoon into special French-bread pans.
  • Slash diagonally every few inches. If desired, brush with melted butter.
  • Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from pan to cool.
