Gluten Free Honey Oat Bread

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Rise Time: 60 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 115 minutes

Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients

3/4 cup warm water
1 tbsp active dry yeast

3 egg whites
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup olive oil

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 cups oat flour

1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch

1 tbsp flax meal

2 tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp baking powder

Method

In a large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast.  After one minute, add the honey, olive oil and vinegar to the water and yeast.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites for approximately 2 minutes.  Once the egg whites are well beaten, slowly pour the water mixture into the bowl while continuing to stir thoroughly.  

Mix together the oat flour, rice flour, potato starch, flax meal, xanthan gum, baking powder and add to the wet mixture.  Mix dough for about a minute until well combined and smooth.

Pour batter into a well greased loaf pan. Let rise in a warm, moist place until doubled (about an hour).  Bake at 350 F for about 45 minutes.  The loaf is done when a toothpick comes out clean and the top is slightly brown.  Allow loaf to cool in pan on its side before cutting.  Remove from loaf pan and cut into about 12 slices.  You can freeze the sliced loaf so that it lasts longer and just get out a slice as needed.
