This vegan gluten-free bread is made without dairy or eggs. Yet it tastes just like a regular loaf of bread! Make this loaf with ease, as your stand mixer does most of the hard work, and you'll be enjoying delicious sandwiches again.

Bread is always the most missed food when there is a diet change (in my opinion). I craved bread when I went gluten-free, and it was so hard as store-bought never really satisfied that crunch I missed. It was also super expensive years ago. I decided to create this bread so that if you are vegan and gluten-free, you too can enjoy bread that doesn't cost an arm and leg.

If you don't require a vegan loaf, I've got you covered with a variety of gluten-free bread options. This garlicky, toasted gluten-free garlic bread is perfectly seasoned and sure to be a family favorite from now on. This is the best recipe for gluten-free rolls or this for gluten-free bread! Read this article on 5 of the BEST gluten-free bread machines for you to consider.

VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE BREAD RECIPE

I loved testing this bread and producing ingredients to make it naturally gluten-free and vegan too. This bread is everything you would expect from a wheat loaf, but in my opinion, better.

And yes, it is egg-free, dairy-free, and xanthan free too. I have added in a few suggested substitutions to try, but where possible, stick to the ingredients suggested. It is perfect for sandwiches and dipping bread for soup season. Look out for the tips below for success.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE BREAD

1. In a small bowl, mix water, maple syrup, and instant yeast. Cover with a warm towel and let it rise for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a bowl, mix gluten-free all-purpose flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, using a standing mixer with the whisk attachment, mix the aquafaba and lime juice until they stiff peak. It will take 4-5 minutes depending on your mixer speed. Scrape down the aquafaba fluff into a bowl. We will use the mixing bowl to make the bread dough.
4. In a mixing bowl that we used to mix aquafaba, change the attachment to a paddle attachment. Add the yeast mixture and dry ingredients. Mix well until incorporated.
5. Add the oil, mix well then add the apple cider vinegar.
6. Mix well on Medium-High for 2-3 minutes until dough is smooth but wet & sticky.
7. Stop the mixer and add in aquafaba fluff.
8. Mix gently on low speed until dough is well combined, around 30 seconds. Do not over-mix.
9. Prepare a 9.5x5 inch loaf pan and grease it with oil.
10. Scrape down the dough and cover the dough using a warm kitchen towel for 20-30 minutes.
11. Preheat your oven for 10 minutes to 350F. After the dough is rested, bake for approx. 50-60 minutes. If the crust darkens too quickly, you can cover it with foil (but do it fast) and return to baking until done.
12. Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before turning it out onto your cooling rack.

TIPS FOR MAKING VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE BREAD

Egg-free - This vegan GF bread will rise and then shrink to the same size you originally had before when you placed it in the oven. This is normal for egg-free baking and is called shrinkage.

Remove from loaf pan - Remove your vegan GF bread from the loaf pan in the first few minutes. This helps your loaf not sink and become dense.

HOW DO I STORE VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE BREAD?

You can store this vegan GF bread in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days. Make sure it is not in direct sunlight. I tend to place it in the refrigerator and use it for toast after that, but it's entirely up to you.

CAN I FREEZE VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE BREAD?

Yes, wrap this vegan GF bread in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. This can be frozen for up to 2 months.

CAN YOU MAKE VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE BREAD AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes, you can. I would, however, suggest you freeze it if you need it for a later period.

CAN VEGANS EAT GLUTEN-FREE BREAD?

Vegans can eat gluten-free bread as long as it does not contain any animal products in it. Be sure to check the ingredients, as many gluten-free breads contain eggs.

WHICH BREAD IS VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE?

Sprouted for Life™ Vegan Gluten-Free Breads has vegan and gluten-free bread. They have Organic Sprouted Original 3 Seed Bread or Gluten-Free Sprouted Flax.

WHAT SUBSTITUTES CAN I MAKE TO THIS VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE BREAD?

Oat flour - I have not tested it, but if you have an oat flour intolerance, try using buckwheat flour or more sorghum flour.

Syrup - I used maple syrup, but you can use coconut sugar or organic granulated sugar.

CAN YOU ADD PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER TO THIS GF BREAD?

Psyllium husk powder is an ingredient added to GF bread recipes. I have not added it to this recipe, but in some reviews, people prefer it over xanthan gum. It stimulates the stretch and pull of the bread by mimicking wheat-based bread.
