1 ½teaspoonsactive dry yeast (I haven't tested with instant)
Instructions
Have ready a nonstick Pullman pan.
In large mixing bowl, whisk together brown rice flour, corn starch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, milk powder and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat the water to about 115 degrees F.
Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the warm water to proof.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, beat the egg and egg whites until light and frothy. Beat in the vinegar and the sugar.
Dump the flour mixture into the egg mixture, followed by the water. Give it a stir then add the softened butter.
Switch to paddle attachment and beat for 3 minutes. It should be smooth and shiny. Scrape side of bowl and beat for another 3 minutes. This batter is not nearly as thick psyllium based batter. It's more like thick cake or muffin batter.
Scrape the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top with a scraper or spoon.
Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 40 minutes or until dough is halfway up the pullman.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
When dough is done rising, bake on center rack until internal temperature reaches 207°. A thermometer is by far the best way to get success with bread, as every oven varies. However, if you don’t have one, as a guideline bake for 40 minutes. (Sometimes I cover mine loosely with tinfoil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.)
Let cool COMPLETELY on wire rack before cutting. This will usually be at least 3 hours. It is normal for bread to sink slightly when cooling. To help keep top rounded you can cool bread on its side, rotating once in a while between sides and upright position.
When slicing bread, be sure to use a serrated knife to gently saw back and forth…don’t press or you will squish your beautiful loaf of bread.
Enjoy!
STORAGE:
Whatever bread I don't use on day one, I slice and package in ziplock bags - 2 slices per bag. Then, I wrap each bag in tinfoil. I put these in the freezer. When I need a couple of slices I just take out one package. I just leave it on the counter to thaw before using.
