Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup lukewarm water about 100°F
  • 2 tablespoons pure honey or agave nectar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 2½ cups Pamela’s Gluten-Free Artisan Flour Blend
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed optional, for added texture and flavor
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1½ cups lukewarm water about 100°F
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar or wildflower honey
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons avocado oil or melted butter
  • 3¾ cups Pamela’s All-Purpose Artisan Flour Blend
  • 3½ teaspoons instant yeast

Equipment

  • Small Bowl
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. First things first—get everything together. Assemble your ingredients on a clean countertop. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature. This helps in creating that fluffy texture.
  2. In a small bowl, combine lukewarm water, honey (or agave nectar), and yeast. Stir gently to combine. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it bubbles up like a beautiful science experiment.
  3. In a large bowl, combine Pamela's All-Purpose Flour, baking soda, salt, and ground flaxseed. Whisk these together. You want everything well mixed to avoid any clumps in your dough.
  4. Once your yeast is frothy, add it to your dry mixture. Also, throw in your eggs and olive oil (or melted butter). Mix with a spatula, then switch to your hands if you like a good tactile experience. It will come together, but it might be a bit sticky—that’s okay!
  5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Form it into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for an hour or until it doubles in size.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently. Grab your loaf pan and grease it. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). It’s essential to allow the oven to reach the right temperature while your bread gets those last few puffs.
  8. Once the oven is hot, place the loaf inside. Bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it's done when the top turns a beautiful golden brown. You can also tap the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and the pan. Let it cool on a wire rack. Patience is key; let it cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.

Notes

  • Keep Ingredients Room Temperature: Always use room temperature eggs and water. This ensures the yeast activates properly.
  • Don’t Skip the Second Rise: Allowing the dough to rise twice is crucial for achieving that airy texture we all want.
  • Use a Kitchen Scale: For accuracy, measure out your flour with a scale. This ensures you have just the right amount.
  • Experiment with Add-ins: Consider integrating seeds, nuts, or dried herbs for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store Properly: Allow the bread to cool, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in a bread box to maintain freshness.
