The Best Gluten Free Sandwich Bread Recipe
This post contains affiliate links. Please read my affiliate disclosure.
I have tried nearly every gluten free bread in grocery and health food stores. A few are pretty good but the majority tends to be dry and stiff. Not to mention one loaf usually sets me back at least $5 (though in Hawaii I’ve seen it as high as $9 for a loaf of gluten-free bread). That’s just ridiculous.
Making your own is SO much easier but finding the right recipe makes all the difference. My mother-in-law is a master baker. She tests recipes all the time and helped me to come up with this delicious gluten-free bread recipe.
What’s The Secret To Making The Best Gluten Free Bread?
The secret? It’s the water roux. This process cooks some of the flour before it’s baked. It’s a traditional baking process that adds moisture and softness into bread – and for gluten-free bread that’s a must.
I usually serve this bread as toast in the morning for my boys before school and often use it as a gluten free sandwich bread to pack school lunches. And as grilled cheese… YUM!
Ideas For Serving Gluten Free Sandwich Bread
- Serve as toast with butter, jams or nut butters
- Fill with your favorite sandwich fillings
- Use for grilled cheese (always a favorite)
- Top with slices or mashed banana for a healthy breakfast or snack
- Avocado mashed with a little salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and garlic

Ingredients
Water roux
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 1/2 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
Yeast mixture
- 4 tbsp organic whole cane sugar organic raw honeyororganic coconut sugaralso work
- 1 packet rapid-rise active yeast
- 1 cup warm raw sour milk Don’t have sour milk? Just add 2 tbsp lemon juice or 2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of milk and let it sit at room temperature for about 90 minutes
- 1/4 cup raw or organic butter
Flour mixture
- 3 1/2 or 4 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 pastured or organic egg or egg replacer such as Ener-G
- 1 tsp raw apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Combine yeast mixture ingredients and let the yeast activate for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Mix water roux ingredients in a small pan and heat on a stove top until the mixture is thickened or about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Mix flour mixture ingredients together, then add yeast and water roux ingredients. Mix together well for a few minutes in a food processor to make a bread dough.
Heat oven to 350°F/180°C.
Grease a bread pan with butter and add the bread dough. Let sit on top of the stove (which is heating up) for about 30 minutes.
When bread dough has risen, carefully place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Take the bread out of the bread pan and place on a baking sheet, then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes at 350°F/180°C. This seems to cook the bread more evenly and gives the edges a nice crispy texture.
When done, take it out of the oven and let it cool down. Don’t cut it while hot.
