Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Stand mixer (or hand mixer with dough hook)
  • 9×5 inch loaf pan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup gluten-free whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 3 tablespoons whole grain teff
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsulphured molasses
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 egg whites at room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free whole wheat flour, oat flour, teff, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together egg whites, melted butter, honey, molasses, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Pour the yeast mixture and wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a stand mixer (medium speed for ~5 minutes) until you get a thick, sticky dough. The consistency will be wetter than typical wheat bread doughs.
  • Transfer the dough into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover loosely with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in height.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
