King Arthur Gluten-Free Bread Mix

I am really becoming a fan of the King Arthur Flour gluten-free products. While a bit on the expensive side, I find the King Arthur products to be worth it.

Gluten-free breads are challenging, and they are even more challenging when you can’t use eggs, but the folks at King Arthur Flour sent me a package of their gluten-free bread mix to try, so I had to give it a shot!

The mix includes rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, sugar, a rice starch emulsifier, salt, and xantham gum. It comes with a yeast packet, as this is a rising bread mix.

The biggest replacement challenge with rising breads is the eggs – I chose to go with Ener-G egg replacer. Instead of butter I used Earth Balance shortening.

As with most rising breads, this one requires a multi-step process (plan about two hours start to finish to make this bread). Following the directions on the package I stirred, let sit, stirred to deflate, covered and let rise, then baked.

The result was a very good bread, which my family was quick to point out didn’t look anywhere near as fluffy as the picture on the package. That said, my son declared this the perfect sunbutter and jelly sandwich bread, and it disappeared quite fast.

Disclosure: I received a free sample of this product to try.
