This yeast bread recipe adapts easily to be a quick bread, see ingredient changes listed under yeast.
List of Ingredients
Liquids:
1-1/2 cups warm water, rice or almond milk (used water this time)
4 eggs (I use 2 flax replacers - 2 T flax meal plus 4 T warm water and 3 Ener-G egg replacers - 1-1/2 T Ener-G egg replacer plus 6 T warm water)
4 tablespoons oil (I used canola or light olive oil)
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup honey
2 teaspoons honey
Solids:
2 cups finely ground rice flour, white or brown or Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour (used Bob's Red Mill Flour blend)
2 cups tapioca starch
4 teaspoons xanthan gum
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
Yeast:
2-1/4 teaspoons dry yeast (or one packet)
OR
1 T. Baking Soda
1 T. Lemon Juice
Recipe
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Put ingredients into stand mixer according to manufacturers directions - mine is liquids first.
Put the flour mixture in 2 cups at a time and mix in between or you will get a big poof of flour.
If using the baking soda/lemon juice, mix all other ingredients first, then add the baking soda and lemon juice last.
You will want to put the batter in the pan and then in the preheated oven relatively quickly after adding these to the batter to get the proper effect.
The batter will be pretty sticky - more like thick cake batter.
Divide batter in half and place into 2 well oiled 9x5 bread pans.
Drizzle the top of the dough with additional oil and smooth out with your oiled hands or an oiled spatula.
Or you can use Rice Milk instead of oil (or any other safe "milk") for an "egg" wash to keep the crust from getting too hard. I generally do the "egg" wash.
Score the top of the bread dough with sharp knife making a cut the long way on the dough about 1/8" to 1/4" deep.
This will create that split - to give the dough a place to expand.
If you don't, it will expand any which way it can.
Only if using yeast, cover pan loosely with an oiled piece of plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Either in the oven on warm or on top of a cooking oven over the vent.
**If using the Baking Soda and Lemon Juice instead, don't let it rise, just put it in the oven as quickly as possible after mixing in the lemon juice and baking soda.
Place into a 400 degree oven and bake for 60 minutes.
Allow to cool before slicing.
This one works for sandwiches, but works best when then sandwich is eaten just after being made or if you toast the bread before making your sandwich so it doesn't absorb as much from the toppings. It is pretty moist. This bread freezes well also.
