Gluten Free Microwave Bread English Muffin
Gluten Free Microwave English muffin bread is a dairy free and vegan bread. It comes together in just 7 minutes from start to baked! The texture is unlike any gluten free bread that you have experienced. My only words for it are absolutely incredible, terrific, unimaginable. The flavor is heavenly. It makes the perfect sandwich. No rips, no tears, no crumbles, just the perfect gluten free bread recipe.
Equipment
- Measuring Spoons
- Measuring cups
- Serving size bowl
- Spoon
- Butter knife
- Microwave safe glass or ceramic container with a flat bottom
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- ¼ and 1/8 cups of Chantal’s all purpose gluten free flour blend
- ¼ and 1/8 teaspoons psyllium husk powder
- 1/8 and 1/16 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ and 1/8 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 and ½ tablespoons room temperature water
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ and 1/8 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- Baking spray or butter
Instructions
- Into a serving bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix well until thoroughly combined. Use a knife to ensure the ingredients are leveled into their measuring utensils.
- Add the wet ingredients beginning with the water, then the apple cider vinegar and the olive oil. This will prevent the olive oil and apple cider vinegar from forming a clump in the dough. It will ensure that the ingredients are distributed properly amongst each other.
- Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients for about a minute, or until the dough resembles a soft playdough.
- Spray the microwave safe container with a baking oil, or evenly spread some butter onto it.
- Place the bread dough onto the oiled surface. Using the spoon, shape the dough into an English muffin shape of about 3 ½ inches in diameter and ½ an inch in thickness.
- Place the bread into the microwave and “bake” for 2 to 2:30 minutes depending on your microwave’s wattage. I would suggest you “bake” it for 2 minutes first and then insert a tooth pick to check for doneness. If it is fully baked, you should see minute particles on the toothpick. If it is not fully done, the toothpick should have a lot of gummy dough on it. If so, “bake” the bread for 15 more seconds or until done.
- Carefully remove the bread from the microwave and place it upside down onto a cooling rack. The bottom may appear slightly wet, but it will quickly dry off. Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing into it.
Notes
It is important to remember that the wattage of the microwave will affect the time it takes your bread to bake. My microwave’s wattage output or the energy that is being used to cook the food is at 1100 W.
If your microwave’s output Wattage is lower than 1100 W, you’ll have to “bake” the bread for a little bit longer than suggested. Increment the baking time by 15 seconds at a time.
If your microwave’s output wattage is higher than 1100 W, then you’ll need to bake the bread for less than the time suggested. Try decreasing the time by 30 seconds. You might have to try a few times before you get the perfect baking time for your bread using your microwave.
You can add different variations of flavors to the bread before baking it.
For a cinnamon raisin flavor, add 1/8 teaspoon to ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ tablespoon raisins to the dry ingredients.
For an onion flavor, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon powdered onions to the dry ingredients
for poppy seeds flavor, add 1/2 tsp of poppy seeds to the dry ingredients, and sprinkle the top with a ¼ teaspoon
For an everything bagel flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of the seasoning into the dry ingredients, and sprinkle the dough with another ½ teaspoon of seasoning.
The last method can also be applied for sesame seed flavor, or any flavor that involves seeds.
