Gluten free bread recipe

my husband's GLUTEN FREE YEAST BREAD THAT RISES

Most gluten free yeast breads receipts do not rise into light loaves. After becoming discouraged with some heavy rubbery bread recipes, I did a little investigation.

In a normal bread recipe the gluten has two functions - it provides the nutrients (sugars) for the yeast and provides the polymer to hold the bread together. The yeast releases carbon dioxide forming expanding pockets within the dough causing the bread to rise. In gluten free breads Xanthan gum is used to hold the bread together.

Put out 3 eggs to warm to room temperature a half hour or so before starting.

Yeast solution in glass or ceramic container

½ cup lukewarm water and half of the sugar

1.5 tablespoon bread yeast mix and let stand a few minutes

Beat 3 eggs in seperate container.
