Description
Adapted from “Gluten Free Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day.”
Slightly sweet with notes of cinnamon and vanilla, this brioche bread is great on its own, toasted with butter, or made into French toast. Made with apple cider and dried apples, this is the fall bread recipe of your dreams!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-Free Flour
- 4 1/2 cups cornstarch
- 2 tsp Xanthan Gum or Ground Psyllium Husk
- 1 tbsp Granulated Yeast
- 1 1/2 tbsp Kosher Salt
- 2 1/4 cups Apple Cider (warmed, 100 degrees F or below)
- 3 Large Eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus butter for greasing the pan)
- 1 cup dried Honeycrisp apples (I used the bag from Trader Joes)
- 1 tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- Egg Wash for the top
Instructions
The below instructions reflect making an entire batch of dough (which will yield 3 loaves) but baking 1 loaf. To bake 3 loaves, simply follow the instructions and grease 3 tins instead of one. If only making one loaf, either place the rest of the dough (divided into 2 portions) in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, xanthan gum (or psyllium), yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the warmed apple cider, lightly whisked eggs, honey, melted butter, cinnamon, dried apples and vanilla, then mix on a low speed with the dry ingredients using the paddle attachment.
- Cover the bowl of the mixer loosely (not airtight) and allow to rest at room temperature until the dough rises, about 2 hours.
- Grease a loaf pan with melted butter or non-stick spray
- Using wet hands (so it doesn’t stick to the dough) pull off a grapefruit sized portion (1 1/2 pounds) and drop it into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with water
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let it rest for 60 minutes
- Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- Brush the top of the loaf with egg wash and bake until golden and firm, about 40-50 minutes.
- Allow to fully cool before slicing and eating.
