Companion Gluten-Free Bread

• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tsp dry yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 3/4 cups gluten-free flour

1. Place the water, yeast, salt, sugar, eggs and oil in the bowl fitted with the kneading/crushing blade. Mix at speed 3 for 1 minute. Add flour. Launch the P1 pastry program. After 2 minutes 30 seconds of mixing, your dough should be shaped like a ball. Be careful to leave it in the Prep&Cook to rise for the next 40 minutes of the program.

2. At the end of the program, place the mixture in an oiled 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper and let it rise for 45 minutes or until dough doubles in size.

3. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bake for 40 minutes or until the crust is deep golden brown.

4. Remove bread from the pan as soon as it’s removed from the oven. Cool completely before slicing.
