Cuisine: Gluten-Free
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1 cup white rice flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan by lightly greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice flour, white rice flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are thoroughly blended and no lumps remain.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water and olive oil. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula until a smooth, slightly sticky batter forms.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flours to fully absorb the liquid and improve the texture of the bread.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully turn out the bread onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
- Once cooled, slice and serve the bread. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the most consistent mixing and best texture.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Take extra time to whisk your dry ingredients to eliminate any potential lumps, which can affect the bread's final texture.
- Resting Time is Crucial: Don't skip the 5-minute resting period for the batter. This allows the rice flour to fully hydrate and improves the bread's overall structure.
- Oven Accuracy: Use an oven thermometer to confirm your oven's actual temperature, as accurate heat is key to perfect baking.
- Cooling Technique: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent a gummy texture and ensure clean, even cuts.
- Storage Hack: For longer shelf life, slice the bread and freeze individual portions, which can be easily toasted when needed.
- Moisture Boost: If the bread seems dry, brush with a little olive oil or serve with a moist spread to enhance enjoyment.
