How to Make Gluten Free Potato Bread (Overview)

Making Gluten Free Potato Bread is as easy as pie (well, bread)! Start by mashing your potatoes—the creamier the better. While those potatoes are chilling in a bowl with milk and oil, get your dry ingredients ready in another bowl. Mix them together until your dough comes to life. Let it rise like a champion for 30 minutes, and then bake it to golden perfection. Pro tip? Don’t skip the rising time; it makes the bread fluffy!

How to Serve Gluten Free Potato Bread

Once out of the oven, this bread isn’t just a sidekick; it’s a star! You can slice it for sandwiches or serve it warm with a dollop of butter and herbs on top. Imagine the golden crust meeting the soft, fluffy interior. Pair it with homemade soups or a fresh salad for a truly delightful meal. Your kitchen will smell as heavenly as a bakery—seriously, who could resist that aroma?

How to Store Gluten Free Potato Bread

This delightful loaf stays fresh in the fridge for about a week, or you can freeze it for up to three months—just be sure to wrap it tightly. For reheating, pop slices in the toaster or microwave. If you want to get ahead, make it on the weekend and enjoy fresh bread all week long!

Tips to Make Gluten Free Potato Bread

  • Swap the flour: If you’re out of gluten-free flour, almond or coconut flour can also work—experiment a bit!
  • Perfect pot brewing: Use the leftover potato water for a little added flavor in your dough.

  • Mix it up: Want a herby flavor? Toss in some dried rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist.

Feeling adventurous? Spice things up by adding in cheddar cheese or chives for a savory kick, or maybe throw in some cinnamon and raisins for a sweet version. You could even try swapping out the honey for maple syrup for a unique touch. The possibilities are endless!
