This is the closest to “regular” bread that I have tasted that actually works in the bread machine. As a celiac, buying gluten-free bread can be expensive. So, I like this recipe also for the money I save. Makes 1 loaf.

Back in the late 1990s when bread machines were a new thing, I experimented with gluten-free recipes to see how they worked. I found the only way to get a decent loaf was to use the dough cycle, let it rise outside the machine, and then bake it in a conventional oven. Using the machine for the whole process would create a small, hard loaf.
Thank you Sandy for contributing a recipe that does not require those extra steps.
I noticed in the Shutterstock photo I chose that the breadmaker has a gluten-free cycle. This was not an option when they first came on the market. I haven’t used one with this cycle . . . I assume this means the rise time is longer. Has anyone out there tried a breadmaker with this cycle? If so how did it work? Feel free to comment below.
