Method
Preparation
- Grease and line a standard 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, sugar, yeast, and cream of tartar.
- Toss in the salt and whisk again to combine.
- Add in the vinegar, eggs, warm milk, and butter.
- Beat on medium-low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to medium-high speed for at least 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and beat on high for another 2 minutes.
- Move the dough into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it firmly into the corners. Smooth the top with a moistened spatula.
Rising
- Cover the pan with lightly greased plastic wrap and place it in a warm, draft-free spot. Let it rise until it reaches the top of the pan.
Baking
- When it’s puffed up beautifully, preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Remove the plastic wrap, and score the loaf down the center at a 45° angle, cutting about 1/4 inch deep.
- Bake for 25 minutes, rotate the pan 180°, and bake for another 20 minutes.
- For a soft crust, wrap in aluminum foil and bake an extra 5-10 minutes, or until it reaches at least 190°F inside.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool on a wire rack, and slice to serve.
Notes
Room temperature ingredients help blend smoothly. Swap ingredients if needed and don't skip the rising time for a fluffy texture.
