Easy Rice Bread Recipes

EASY RICE BREAD

Steps:

• To help insure success have all ingredients at room temperature before proceeding. Combine the white rice flour, brown rice flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix very well. The flours need to be completely combined.
• Combine the gelatin, sugar, egg replacer, milk powder, beaten eggs, vinegar and oil. Beat until well combined.
• Combine the flour mixture, egg mixture and yeast together and beat well. A standup mixture works best for this. Add tepid water to dough if mixture is to dry. The dough should be somewhere between a normal bread dough consistency and a batter.
• Pour into greased 9x5 inch bread pan and allow to rise in a warm, still place until doubled in bulk. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) until crust is a light to medium brown. Cool ten minutes in the pan, then to room temperature outside the pan before slicing.

EASY GLUTEN-FREE RICE BREAD (NO POTATO, GUMS OR YEAST)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease loaf pan and line with one strip of parchment paper, to make it easy to pull out/remove baked loaf.
• In large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: rice flour, psyllium husk powder, sweetener, gelatin, baking soda and sea salt.
• In medium bowl, combine liquid ingredients: warm water, fat of choice and egg whites. (If making sourdough version, use only 1-1/4 cups water, and sub in the remaining liquid [1/4 cup] with sauerkraut juice or whey.)
• Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well. Electric beaters may be used. (Do not over-mix.) Roll dough into a giant jelly roll shape in bowl. Roll batter into prepared loaf pan, and shape the top with spatula or wetted fingers, so it's slightly mounded in the middle.
• Bake approximately 1 hour, until loaf is well risen, very golden brown and sounds a bit hollow when tapped on the bottom side.
• Allow to cool briefly in pan. Then slide knife along each end to free from pan, and lift up on parchment ends to pull loaf out. Allow to cool on wire rack before slicing.

RICE BREAD

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups water and rice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
• Spoon rice into a large bowl; cool to room temperature.
• Stir in 1 1/4 cups warm water.
• Add 2 cups flour and yeast to rice mixture; stir well to combine.
• Cover with plastic wrap; let stand 1 hour (batter should become very bubbly and almost double in size).
• Add 2 cups flour and salt to batter; stir 1 minute with a wooden spoon or until well combined.
• Scrape dough onto a heavily floured surface; sprinkle dough with 1 cup flour.
• Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
• Divide dough in half.
• Working with 1 portion at a time (cover the remaining dough to keep from drying), roll each portion into a 14 x 7-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
• Roll up each rectangle tightly, starting with a short edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch seam and ends to seal.
• Place each roll, seam side down, in an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
• Lightly coat the loaves with cooking spray; cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped.
• Cool in pans on wire racks.
