If you are looking for a gluten-free bread recipe, you will love this rice flour bread. It is easy to make and very tasty.
If you follow a gluten-free diet, due to a lifestyle or an allergy, then you know that getting a bread that is rich and without wheat is HARD.
Many gluten-free breads are tough, come vacuum-packed after traveling thousands of miles, and suspiciously last months without refrigeration.
I don’t know about you, but at least it generates a little concern for me when I see fresh food that is not beaten with anything. It ends up giving me the feeling that it is made of plastic or with a lot of chemicals that I don’t want to put on my body.

But let’s get back to this rice flour bread.
It is a gluten-free bread with a very good texture similar to sandwich bread. It is slightly dense with a slightly crispy outer crust.
Although it is not as airy a bread as those made with wheat and yeast, it is a recipe that is easy to make and that keeps very well. It really is a very substitute for traditional bread.
It’s a wheat-free, xanthan gum-free recipe so even if you have a limited pantry you can still make it. It is also free of other common allergens found in traditional bread such as oatmeal or barley.
The main ingredient in this recipe is rice flour. Rice flour is basically rice that is very finely ground until it has a texture similar to powder and is widely used in gluten-free baking and cooking because it gives very good results.
Doughs made with rice flour tend to have a slightly crispy and dense texture.
Something important is that you know that rice flour, unlike wheat flour, does not absorb as much liquid so quickly so it is important to let the dough rest before baking it to allow the rice to hydrate.
