- 300g (2 1/2 cups) rice flour
- 50g (1/3 cup) tapioca starch
- 10g (2 tsp) baking powder
- 5g (1 tsp) salt
- 15g (1 tbsp) sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 60ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
- 5g (1 tsp) apple cider vinegar
- Butter or oil for greasing
Cooking Time
Total estimated time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease the bread loaf pan with butter or oil to prevent sticking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk them together to ensure the dry ingredients are well mixed.
Step 2: Mixing the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and apple cider vinegar. Ensure that all the wet ingredients are well incorporated, creating a smooth mixture.
Step 3: Creating the Batter
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a spatula until a thick but pourable batter forms. Do not overmix, as this may affect the texture of the bread.
Step 4: Baking the Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using the spatula to smooth out the top. Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for approximately 60-75 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Step 5: Cooling the Bread
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven using oven mitts and place it on a cooling rack. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto the rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 6: Serving Suggestions
This rice flour bread pairs perfectly with a slab of butter or your favorite jam for a sweet touch. For a savory twist, try it with avocado and poached eggs or as a delightful accompaniment to soups and stews.
