GLUTEN FREE TOMATO BREAD Topic

I have several gluten free cook books and really like to try out new bread recipes. I just made this one. Haven't had any yet but it smells and looks fantastic! If you don't have sorghum flour you can use brown rice flour so just double the amount of the brown rice flour. I found the sorghum flour at a health food store. The rest should be available at your regular grocer.

Ingredients:

1/2 c almond flour
1 1/2 c sorghum flour
1 1/2 c tapioca starch
1/2 c gluten free brown rice flour
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
4 tsp dried basil (I used fresh basil from my garden and did more than 4 tsp)
1 tsp raw sugar
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon juice
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic (I was lazy and used the jarred ones)
2 free range eggs, beaten
1 1/4 c warm water
1 packet rapid dry yeast (If you're like me and don't use packets it's 1 1/4 tsp of yeast)

1. Warm oven by turning it on for 5 minutes (I did 220 degrees based on another recipe where the bread had to "rest" in a warm oven)
2. Line a 9" pan with parchment paper
3. Proof the yeast by adding it to a cup of warm water plus the sugar
4. Combine all dry ingredients. Add the proofed yeast, olive oil, lemon juice, eggs and rest of the water to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined and add tomatoes to the mix
5. Scoop dough into the baking pan and set it in the warm oven. Allow bread to rest 20 minutes
6. Turn on the oven to 375 and bake bread for about 30 minutes (brush with olive oil at 20 minutes)
7. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before removing the bread
8 Serve warm with extra virgin olive oil

How did you like the taste? Looks like it would taste great. And does it hold together well?

It was delicious and yes, it held together really well. Not crumbly or dry. Tasted really good toasted too.
