“Ugh, this does not taste like bread!” So off you go searching for gluten free bread recipes that actually taste good (and don’t crumble apart).

Because there are so many of these recipes available online, the question then becomes “which ones are actually worth the effort to try?

I admit that I’m not much of a baker (though Sadie from Otto’s Naturals is trying her best to teach me the ropes). This explains why you’ve never seen any gluten free bread recipes posted on the site despite you asking for them for years now.

Thankfully, there are so many different variations of gluten free bread recipes now! The biggest reason is the explosion of paleo, grain free, and keto bread recipes.

We’ve taken the guesswork out so you don’t have to search any longer. Here’s the list of the 45 best gluten free bread recipes that you and your family will love!

Flour Blends For Making Gluten Free Bread Recipes

There are so many different cup-for-cup blends on the market now that didn’t exist when I went gluten free ten years ago. Count yourself lucky because it can be costly and frustrating to mix your own custom blend from scratch.

Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour– excellent consistency and a grain-free alternative

Jovial Foods Gluten-Free Flour Mixes– more traditional and require more skill as a baker

FAQs

What is the secret to making good gluten-free bread? ›

  • Use Psyllium Husk Powder as a binder for better Gluten Free Bread.
  • The benefits of letting your dough rest, my second tip for baking better gluten free bread.
  • Mix or knead your bread dough thoroughly.
  • For a better gluten free loaf, use less yeast.
  • Bake your bread in a tin with tall sides.

Why is gluten-free bread awful? ›

Not all gluten-free bread is equal — a loaf labeled gluten-free can range from very dry and flavorless to utterly delightful. Gluten is a binding agent that keeps food together, so if you elect not to use it, the result is often crumbly baked goods that fall apart when you touch them.

What is the best gluten free flour for yeast bread? ›

If you want to buy just one gluten-free flour, we highly recommend the Pillsbury all-purpose gluten-free flour. Not only is it our favorite gluten-free flour, and easy to use in gluten-free recipes, but it's also one of the few gluten-free flours currently on the market that is recommended for baking with yeast.

What is the biggest challenge of making gluten-free bread? ›

Running into problems. Gluten is protein that elasticizes dough, providing structure and enabling it to trap the carbon dioxide generated by yeast. (This is why many gluten-free formulations don't use yeast.) Eliminating it often leaves dough that is runnier than conventional bread dough.

What is the secret of baking with gluten-free flour? ›

Use xanthan gum or guar gum: Gluten-free flours lack the elasticity and structure that gluten provides, so adding a binder like xanthan or guar gum can help to hold the ingredients together and give your baked goods a better texture.

What makes gluten-free bread better? ›

The sources used for making gluten-free bread are packed with fibre. Rice Flour, Soy Flour, Starch (Tapioca, Potato, Corn) used in the gluten-free bread by The Baker's Dozen ensure that your gut is never low on dietary fibre. Dietary fibre has many benefits right from reducing obesity to helping in easing digestion.

How do you get a good rise on gluten-free bread? ›

Eggs are natural leaveners that help boost the rise and volume of bread. Eggs also add moisture, flavor, and protein to gluten-free bread recipes. If you select a gluten-free bread recipe that includes eggs, you have a better chance that the resulting bread will have good color, more volume, and softer texture.

Why do I feel worse on a gluten-free diet? ›

Gluten sneaking into the diet, either by cross-contamination or intentional ingestion, is by far the leading cause of ongoing symptoms in patients starting a gluten-free diet. Some people mistakenly assume “a little won't hurt” as the diet can be challenging. These small amounts may be to blame for continued symptoms.

What are the cons of gluten-free bread? ›

Keep in mind that some processed gluten-free foods contain high amounts of unhealthy ingredients such as sodium, sugar and fat. Consuming these foods can lead to weight gain, blood sugar swings, high blood pressure and other problems.

What are the side effects of not eating gluten? ›

What are the possible negative effects of a gluten-free diet?
  • You may not be getting all the nutrients you need.
  • It may disrupt your gut microbiome.
  • A gluten-free diet may lead to fat gain.
  • You may experience gluten cross-reactivity.
  • You may be increasing your intake of heavy metals.
  • Your diet may not contain adequate fibre.

What is the closest gluten-free flour to all purpose flour? ›

Brown rice flour is about as close to a 1:1 substitute for all-purpose flour as it gets since it provides structure and a “wheat-like” flavor.

Why can't you use yeast with gluten-free flour? ›

Baker's/Fresh Yeast:

Fresh yeast requires two rises, so it is not ideal for gluten free breads, which require only one rise.

Does Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour work with yeast? ›

While our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour is not meant for yeast dough, you can use our Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour blend in your favorite recipes instead! Just one gluten free flour blend has so many uses!

Why add vinegar to gluten-free bread? ›

Apple cider vinegar or another acid lightens up the dough. You can add up to 4 Tbsp of acid for 500 g gluten-free flour. Don't worry, you won't be able to taste it afterwards. To lighten up a yeast dough even more, you can add a packet of baking powder or cream of tartar baking powder to 500 g flour.

Why is my homemade gluten-free bread so dense? ›

Incorrect Flour Ratios: Different gluten-free flours have varying levels of protein and starch, which can affect the texture of your bread. Using the wrong flour ratio can result in a dense and gummy loaf.
