Tired of crumbly, flavorless gluten-free bread? This recipe is the solution. Made with brown rice flour, potato starch, and xanthan gum, it creates a soft, sliceable loaf with a golden crust and tender interior — no oven, no kneading, no guesswork. The Gemelli Artisan Bread Maker does the heavy lifting with its dedicated gluten-free setting, delivering consistently great results every time.

Whether you’re gluten-sensitive, celiac, or just avoiding wheat, this loaf is versatile enough for sandwiches, toast, or grilled cheese. It also holds up beautifully when frozen and reheated — making it the perfect go-to gluten-free loaf for your weekly routine.

Select Setting 15 – Gluten-Free (or the dedicated gluten-free cycle on your model).

Recipe Note

⚙️ Bread Machine Pro Tip

Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
Gluten-free dough is more delicate than traditional dough. To ensure a proper rise and soft texture, make sure your eggs, milk, and oil are at room temperature before adding them to the pan. This small detail makes a big difference in achieving a light, even crumb with your Gemelli Artisan Bread Maker.
Bread Machines are super simple to make – basically just add the ingredients and push start. BUT you do need to put the ingredients in a certain way. Think of it as 2 groups – a wet and a dry group. Mix all the wet ingredients together and then add them to the bread machine pan. Then mix all the dry ingredients and add them to the pan. THEN push start.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

This soft, springy gluten-free loaf is ideal for everyday meals:

Slice it for sandwiches or grilled cheese

Toast and top with avocado, jam, or nut butter

Cut into cubes for homemade gluten-free croutons

Turn stale slices into amazing French toast

🧊 Storage Tips

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezing: Slice the loaf, then freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Toast straight from frozen or let thaw at room temp.

Avoid Refrigeration: It dries out gluten-free bread quickly and alters the texture. Stick to countertop or freezer storage for best results.
