its official. this is by far the BEST gluten free thing i've ever made. it may not be the prettiest, but it is out of this world delicious.
the recipe i used for this treat can be found here.
gluten free brioche
1 tablespoon dry active yeast
5 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup warm (not hot) water
2/3 cup superfine brown rice flour
1 cup tapioca starch
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
¾ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
4 large
9 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
combine the yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar and warm water in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 6 minutes.
in the bowl of a mixer whisk together the brown rice flour, tapioca starch, remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar, xanthan gum and salt. make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture. put the bowl in the mixer and mix on low speed to combine. add 3 of the eggs, one at a time, mixing each egg in thoroughly. add 8 tablespoons of butter, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the butter is fully incorporated. scape the dough into a clean mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and let sit in a warm, draft free place until it has doubled in size, about 2 hours. if it looks a bit more than doubled, that’s ok.
butter an 8 inch by 4 inch loaf pan with the remaining tablespoon of butter. scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into the pan evenly. with a spatula, smooth the top. cover with a tea towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
preheat oven to 350 degrees.
cut a slit about ¼ inch deep down the center of the loaf with a sharp knife or razor blade dipped into some tapioca starch. mix the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water, whisking well. brush the mixture onto the top of the loaf, let sit for 5 minutes then brush again with the egg wash. bake for 40 – 45 minutes or until the bread is deeply golden brown and the bread sounds a little hollow when tapped.
like i said. this brioche is amazing, and really doesn't taste gluten free! i think ill try making french toast with it tomorrow!
hope everyone is having a good week so far!!
krush.
