Ingredient Notes:

For the full list of ingredients and amounts, please go to the recipe card below.

  • Gluten-Free Flour Blend: I developed this recipe using a custom mix of gluten-free flour and starch. This combination consistently delivers soft, fluffy bread that’s perfect for sandwiches. It holds up to peanut butter and jelly (really!!) and stays intact in a lunchbox without crumbling. The flavor is light, and the texture is soft yet sturdy—everything you want in gluten-free sandwich bread! ⚠️ Many 1:1 blends don’t work well with yeast, so I created a foolproof option that delivers consistent results. See the Substitutions section for my tested gluten-free flour blend recommendations.
  • Flaxseed Meal: Use finely ground flaxseed meal, not whole seeds. If needed, you can omit this ingredient. (Wondering if flaxseed is gluten-free? Read Is Flaxseed Gluten-Free? You can also omit this ingredient if you can’t tolerate flaxseed.)
  • Eggs: Use large eggs for just the perfect structure and moisture balance.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: This adds a slight flavor boost and helps the bread rise better.
  • Baking Powder: I add a little for extra lift. Be sure to use aluminum-free baking powder.
  • Sugar: Just a couple of tablespoons to activate the yeast and balance the flavor.
  • Salt: Sea salt or kosher salt both work well.
  • Yeast: I use active dry yeast. Always check the label to confirm it’s gluten-free. (⚠️ Red Star Platinum Yeast is NOT gluten-free!)

Easy Substitutions:

  • If you don’t want to mix the flour and starch in this recipe, you can swap a gluten-free flour blend. I highly recommend using my custom gluten-free bread flour blend or Cup4Cup for this recipe. NOTE: Cup4Cup recently changed its formulation, and I haven’t had a chance to retest this recipe with the new blend. If you’re using the updated version, please let me know how it turns out.
  • Reader Tested: One reader successfully made this bread using the Walmart Great Value Gluten-Free Flour Blend, and another used Namaste Flour Blend. I haven’t tested them, but I wanted to share the information.
  • Swap rapid yeast for the active dry yeast. Don’t forget to check the expiration date!
  • Egg-Free: One reader reported that she had great success making this bread egg-free using Just Egg liquid egg replacer.
  • Make this bread gum-free using my DIY Gluten-Free Flour Blend, which uses psyllium husk powder.

👀 Sandi Says: After two people reached out, I want to re-emphasize this recipe works with my custom flour blend and Cup4Cup. Bob’s 1 to 1 and King Arthur Measure for Measure do not work well in yeast recipes. If you prefer a blend, it is critical to ensure the blend you choose works with yeast.

Why Water Quality Is Important In Baking With Yeast:

Always use purified water when baking with yeast. Tap water often contains chlorine and other chemicals that can weaken or even kill your yeast, preventing your bread from rising properly. Choose filtered or bottled water free from these additives to get the best rise and texture.

Tips For Using A Breadmaker:

This recipe’s success depends on your bread machine and cycle settings. I use a Hamilton Beach machine, but settings vary by brand and model. Here’s how to get the best results:

  • Undercooked Bread: If the gluten-free setting underbakes, run a short “bake-only” cycle to finish browning. The gluten-free time/cycle settings differ for every machine and model number. I am not sure why this is, but I am noticing it. Here are things I noticed and some ideas to make your machine work in this recipe:
  • High Altitude: Yeast can be more active. Use less yeast and consider baking in the oven instead.
  • No Gluten-Free Cycle? If you have an older bread machine or one without a gluten-free setting, use the “Home Made” cycle: 20 min mix, 45 min rise, 90 min bake.

Step-By-Step Photos and Directions:

These are my step-by-step photos and directions from when I made and tested this recipe to show you every step of making this delicious recipe.

Bread machine bread photos of steps 1 and 2 mixing the dry and wet ingredients.

Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients. Whisk together the gluten-free flour, starches, baking powder, ground flaxseed meal, and salt in a large mixing bowl. While this step isn’t strictly necessary, I find that pre-mixing helps the bread bake more evenly.

🔑 Sandi says: Always blend the dry ingredients before adding them to the bread machine. Dumping everything in at once can lead to uneven mixing, which affects how well the bread turns out.

Step 2: Combine the wet ingredients. Blend the wet ingredients in a separate, smaller mixing bowl until smooth.

I now realize I’d forgotten the taste and texture of really good bread. Thank you for returning that pleasure to me.”

Step 3: Prepare the bread machine. Check that the paddle is securely attached to the bread machine’s spinner and spins freely. Pour the mixed wet ingredients into the machine’s bread pan.

Step 4: Carefully pour the whisked dry ingredients over the wet ingredients, ensuring an even layer.

How are you all doing so far? Hopefully, I have answered your questions up to this point. If you have any questions about any step of this recipe, please drop a comment below. I am quick to respond to questions.

Step 5: Add the yeast and start the bread cycle. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the dry ingredients. Close the lid, select the gluten-free setting, and press start. If your bread machine has no gluten-free cycle, refer to my Tips for Using a Bread Machine section above.

🔑 Sandi’s Tip: After 5 minutes of mixing, use a soft rubber spatula to push down any flour from the sides of the bread maker. Push down to the bottom and give a small stir. This prevents dry pockets of flour in the dough.

Step 6: Check the dough consistency. The dough should look wetter than traditional bread dough—that’s exactly what you want. Once mixing stops, you can remove the paddle with long tongs or wait until the baking cycle is complete.

Step 7: Cool the bread. When the cycle ends, let the bread sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Gently slide the bread out of the pan and place it on a cooling rack. This prevents the bread from overcooking and drying out from the residual heat in the bread pan.

The only downside to using a bread machine is the little paddle comes off into your bread. The bread stays hot for some time, so I highly recommend you use tweezers or these pointed tongs to remove the paddle. It is easier to remove when the bread is hot.

👀 Sandi Says: Do not slice the bread until it has fully cooled to room temperature!!! (I know it is tempting to eat warm bread, but this is critical!!) This helps the crumb set and prevents the bread from becoming gummy.

Thank you for coming up with this seriously easy, no-fail recipe. My wheat-eating husband said it’s his favorite bread ever, including regular gluten bread.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

Store your freshly baked bread the right way! Learn How to Store Gluten Free Bread so you can keep it fresh.

Do bread machines make good bread?

I didn’t think a bread machine could make great bread for a long time, but this recipe has completely changed my mind.

What size loaf does this recipe make?

This gluten free bread machine recipe makes a 1.5-pound loaf.

What ingredients go into the bread machine first?

Always put your wet ingredients into the bread machine first. It helps prevent flour pockets at the bottom of your bread loaf.

How do I know if the bread is fully baked?

If you are using a bread machine, the baking time is automatic. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done baking. If you see batter or crumbs, the bread must be baked longer.

Why didn’t my bread cook fully?

If your bread didn’t fully cook and you did cook it on a gluten-free setting, it may be the brand of bread machine’s bake setting time. You should be able to lengthen the bake time. See the above section titled Bread Machine Notes.

What starch can be used instead of potato starch?

If you can’t have potato starch, use tapioca starch to replace the potato starch.

What bread machines are best for gluten free bread?

There are several great brands of gluten free bread machines that have a gluten free setting. My friend, Jane, who wrote The Gluten Free Bread Machine Cookbook, recommends the Cuisinart CBK-200 machine. I have an old Breadman Pro, but I do not think they even make it any longer. I bought this Hamilton Beach model about six months ago, and I really love using it.

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup sorghum flour, 1/2 cup brown rice flour, 1 cup tapioca starch, 1/2 cup potato starch, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal, 2 tablespoons cane sugar, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder and whisk to blend.
  • TIP: Always blend the dry ingredients before adding them to the bread machine. Dumping everything in at once can lead to uneven mixing, which affects how well the bread turns out.
  • In a smaller bowl, add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup light oil, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 1/2 cups warm water, and whisk to and blend.
  • Check that the paddle is securely attached to the bread machine's spinner and spins freely. Pour the mixed wet ingredients into the machine's bread pan.
  • Pour the whisked dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring an even layer.
  • Dump the 2 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet) on top of the dry ingredients. Close the lid, select the gluten-free setting, and press start. If your bread machine has no gluten-free cycle, refer to my notes below.
  • If your bread machine has this setting, use it. After 5 minutes, take a soft rubber spatula and press the flour down from the sides. This tip will help prevent unmixed flour pockets on the side of your bread.
  • The dough should look wetter than traditional bread dough—that’s exactly what you want. Once mixing stops, you can remove the paddle with long tongs or wait until the baking cycle is complete.
  • When the cycle ends, let the bread sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Gently slide the bread out of the pan and place it on a cooling rack. This prevents the bread from overcooking and drying out from the residual heat in the bread pan.

  • Do not slice the bread until it has fully cooled to room temperature!!! (I know it is tempting to eat warm bread, but this is critical!!) This helps the crumb set and prevents the bread from becoming gummy.

Notes

  1. Many bread recipe directions will say you can dump all of the ingredients in the bread maker. Do not do this! When you are mixing as many ingredients as is needed for gluten free bread, you risk the ingredients not getting mixed thoroughly, and that can affect how the bread turns out!
  2. Most yeast is gluten free EXCEPT Red Star Platinum. As always, definitely check the ingredients label for any yeast you buy. Also, check the expiration date of the yeast to ensure it has not expired.
  3. Always use purified water when baking with yeast. Tap water often contains chlorine and other chemicals that can weaken or even kill your yeast, preventing your bread from rising properly. Choose filtered or bottled water free from these additives to get the best rise and texture.
  4. I prefer light oils including avocado and canola oil. You can use other oils, but they may impart a flavor to the bread, which can be good or bad.
  5. Note: Cup4Cup recently changed its flour blend formulation, and it doesn’t behave as the old formulation. I haven’t had a chance to retest this recipe with the new flour blend formulation.If you use Cup4Cup, add 3 cups Cup4Cup instead of the individual flour. Omit the xanthan gum, vinegar, and flaxseed.
  6. WATER – For some reason, some have had the middle cave, indicating there is too much water. Others don’t experience this. I am assuming it is the bread maker or if someone is using cup measurements. If you notice the bread sinks in the middle, use 1 1/4 cups of water.
  7. You can bake this bread in your oven. The full directions are here in my Gluten-Free Bread recipe.

    SPECIAL NOTE

    Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn’t test, my rule of thumb is to add more flour if your dough or batter is wet and add more liquid if the dough or batter is too dry!

      I am throwing out any other recipes I have saved… this Truly is the BEST!!! Made 2 GF loaves in the bread machine one using the flours with the flax and a second using cup4cup and both are outstanding!!! Thank you!!!

    2. 5 stars
      Made this for the first time and it is delicious. Can not believe it tastes this good and gluten free.

    3. 5 stars
      I swapped Tapioca for arrowroot, otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My breadmaker only has the following options, “Basic medium, dark light, whole wheat, sweet, fast bake, French and dough”, so I chose Basic Medium 1 lb. And it turned out perfectly! I’m so happy, thanks so much!

    4. Hi Sandi – apologies I wasn’t chasing up for a response just hadn’t seen that my reply had been posted so was checking in to make sure it hadn’t got lost! I’m still pretty new to gluten free baking so don’t understand the science behind how it all interacts. I wasn’t able to get hold of sorghum so I’ll try and get some then try again. I was wondering whether it was the yeast left on top of the bread rather than the flaxseed as I don’t see how the flaxseed would have separated out from the flour mix! It was very odd. Anyway, I’ll try again with the sorghum and see how that goes. Thanks.

      1. Hi Emily, no worries. Gluten-free is like a massive science experiment most times. I have a huge resources section on my blog that talks about the flour blends, and other ingredients and how things work.

    5. Help! My loaf seems to be dry in the middle with a wet doughy bread around it then a good crust but with a layer of the flaxseed on top. What have I done wrong?!

      1. Hi Emily, I need more information in order to help you. 1. What gluten free flour blend did you use, or did you use the combo of flour/starches I list in the ingredients? 2. Did you swap any ingredients? 3. What bread machine are you using, and does it have a gluten free setting? If not, what setting did you use? 4. Did you whisk all the dry ingredients together before adding them to the bread machine? If the flaxseed was all on top, I suspect you didn’t?

        1. Hi. I used this recipe although didn’t have sorghum so swapped that for more potato starch. And I don’t use xanthan so swapped out for tapioca starch. I’m using a Panasonic bread machine with the gluten free setting. I did mix up the dry ingredients really well (my son was doing that for ages so it confused me about what I thought was the flaxseed. Could it have been the yeast though? I put that on top of the dry ingredients in the machine as directed. Thank you for helping!

        2. Hi Emily, Unfortunately you changed my recipe and your questions are not clear, so it is hard to say what happened. You swapped a grain for a starch, which have very different properties and starch sort of dissolves more than a grain. You never told me exactly what happened with the bread. What confused you about the flaxseed? What happened that you are asking me about the yeast?

    6. 5 stars
      Thank you so much for helping me get a healthy gluten free loaf from my first try of my bread maker. It’s delicious! Have you made this with a. Our dough starter instead of the yeast in a bread maker too?

      1. Thank you so much for coming back to let me know it worked well. I was really happy to help you get that perfect loaf. I haven’t tested this recipe with a dough starter.

    7. Your recipe contains baking soda and I have a bad reaction to corn as well as wheat so I use
      4:1 Lemon Juice:Baking Powder. I mix these together first and then add any other stuff.
      Can I use this right with the dry ingredients?
      New to bread machine,
      Janet

      1. Hi Janet, I would add that to the wet ingredients just before you add the dry ingredients in the bread machine. I haven’t tested the 4:1 juice/baking powder blend…so I can’t say if that would work overall instead of baking soda.

        1. Thanks Sandi for getting back to me so quickly. I am brand new to gluten-free bread machine activities and so far I have tried 6 one pound loaves and NONE of them has actually risen. I ‘m going to try a one and a half pound loaf next in case the machine wants to handle more dough in order to work. I haven’t tried your recipe yet (no sorghum flower or flax seed meal) but I’ll try it after number seven.
          Please wish me luck and mention me in your prayers, if you do that sort of thing.
          Thanks again,
          Janet

        2. The frustration is real and it is especially difficult when you are new to gluten-free. I am glad you will try my recipe next, it does make a 1.5 pound loaf. Please keep me posted.

        3. 4 stars
          Hi Sandi,
          Well, I tried your recipe and it worked beautifully. The other recipe would simply not rise. I thought it was the yeast, so I proofed it and I thought it was the machine, so I priced a Cuisinart. But with yours it raised beautifully. It went so high in the first hour that my machine punched it down and it rose again! And the taste is wonderful. The bread is too crumbly for sandwiches, however. Is there a fix for that? And if you can come up with a substitute for those expensive eggs, or even one of them, my pocketbook would appreciate it. Thanks for your attention to all this.
          Janet

        4. Hi Janet, I am so excited you got a good rise. If it was crumbly, what did you use as a binder? Did you use my flour blend or another? I searched several hundred comments on this recipe post to see if anyone mentioned an egg replacer. Sadly, I don’t see that any of my readers swapped the eggs, or if they did, they didn’t come back to tell anyone how it worked.

        5. Hi again,
          I used your recipe exactly except that I swapped out 1 tsp baking powder for 1 tsp baking SODA and 2 tsps lemon juice. I mixed that in with the water. I also dropped the flax seeds. I have a lot of problems with food allergies and flax has got a bad reputation in that department.
          Maybe I should increase the xanthan gum? Or add a little oat flour? I have read that these are good binders and I actually have them on hand!
          And thanks so much for looking up the eggs. I think I’ll keep using the eggs as written, and maybe skip one meal a week to compensate for the expense … I’m kidding … overactive sense of humor … sorry.
          Thank you again for this recipe and your help. I admit I was becoming discouraged.
          Janet

        6. Hi Janet, omitting the flaxseed meal could be a bit of the issue with crumbliness. You used 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum? I wouldn’t add more as it can give an off flavor. I like your idea of maybe adding a little oat flour…maybe swap 1/4 sorghum flour for oat flour? It is a guess, but I am hoping that would help it from being crumbly.

        7. 5 stars
          Hello again Sandi. This bread had the best flavor I have ever tasted in gluten-free loaves. Period. And the oat flour worked somewhat but now I cannot seem to slice the bread into thin slices. If I make them an inch thick, it works well but any thinner and it crumbles into pieces again. The bread was only a little warm when I tried to slice it … almost all the way back to room temperature … so that might be the problem. But I also know absolutely nothing about what I am doing. Is there a trick to slicing sandwich bread that you could share with me? Another thing that bothers me a little, the bread machine doesn’t seem to give the loaf enough time to complete its final rise so that the top end of the loaf is actually concave. And I think it needs to bake a little longer too. The inside of the bread is far from being dry. Should I somehow interrupt the process, let it raise more and then bake it longer in the over? Should I try a different brand of bread maker? Please help again. Thanks, Janet

        8. Hi Janet. The bread really needs to cool to room temperature before slicing. It allows the bread to set so it is easier to slice. I have seen bread slicers on Amazon that make slicing easier as well. Please remind me which bread machine you are using? I do include directions for those who don’t have a GF setting to customize a setting. Maybe that would give you a longer bake time?

        9. 5 stars
          Hi again and many, many thanks for all your attention. The machine I bought was the cheapest one with a gluten-free progam on Amazon, Elite Gourmet. It is a really good machine but it has a lousy user guide. When I used their recipes for the first 7 loaves, they would not rise. Then I tried yours and suddenly the machine was working! After my last message to you I tried one more thing. I substituted another 2 tablespoons of the sorghum flour. I used a total of 3/8 cup oat flour and it WORKED. I let the bread cool and used a bamboo slicer from Amazon (after returning two plastic slicers and one metal slicer) and it holds together for sandwiches and makes the very best ever French Toast. Thanks again for the attention and all the education.

        10. Just a quick note to tell you that I tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich with my new bread and it did break in half when I tried to flip it. I am going to add more oat flour (half oat, half sorghum) to my next loaf and see what happens. BUT IT WAS DELICIOUS ANYWAY.

        11. 5 stars
          First let me thank you again for all your help and information. That oat flour worked like a charm and the bread is perfect so now I want to make a “little” change. I want to add more protein so I thought I could dissolve whey protein powder in the water. With my powder, it would be about 3 tablespoons and add 17g protein to the loaf. I would like to use the vanilla flavor and get a little more sweetness in the bread but my whey powder is sweetened with stevia and I have heard that stevia does not bake well. Any suggestions?

        12. Hi Janet, I love your creativity. Unfortunately, I don’t have any advice. I haven’t tried your suggestions before and I don’t want to steer you the wrong way. Keep me posted how it turns out.

    8. 5 stars
      Even though this did sink in the middle (I will use 1 1/4 cup of water next time) this had to be one of the best breads I have made! Used rice flour to sub for sorghum flour. Just excellent!

    9. 5 stars
      This is the best bread recipe ever!! I have trying gluten free recipes for my bread maker and nothing worked: too hard, didn’t mix. This one is perfect. Thank you so much for perfecting the recipe and sharing with others!!!

    10. Do bread machines warm the water for you or do you still need to warm the water before putting it in the bread machine?

    11. Does your bread machine just do one kneed and one rise on the gluten free setting? My machine does two kneed and 3 rise…and I’ve read that that’s too much for gluten free and can damage the loaf.

      1. Hi Julia, Two kneading and 3 rise cycles are definitely too much. I share a lot of tips in the recipe, but if you go to Tips For Using a Breadmaker in the Table of Contents, you will see this info for those without a gluten free cycle on their bread machine: Some breadmakers do not have a gluten free cycle, or the cycle isn’t long enough. If this is the case, use the “Home Made” custom cycle, programming in about 20 minutes Mix, 45 minutes Rise, 90 minutes Bake.
