Gluten Free Almond Cornstarch bread made in bread machine

This bread turned out very nice. Very nice white bread. Should have entered this one into the fair. Rose high, didn't fall, nice texture and flavor.

Current summer temperature is about 80F with fairly high humidity. Used my Regal Breadmaker's rapid cycle with medium crust. Top didn't brown much at all. Sides were browned just right.

Preblend the dry ingredients in a regular mixer:
  • 2 1/4 c cornstarch
  • 1/3 c potato starch flour
  • 2 T sweet rice flour
  • 2 T dried egg white
  • 1/4 c sugar
  • 1 T xanthan gum (doubled from original recipe)
  • 3 T almond flour (or ground walnuts or ground pecans)
  • 1 1/2 t salt
  • 1/2 gelatin (not in original recipe)
  • 1/2 dough enhancer (not in original recipe)
Put the wet ingredients in the bread mixer loaf pan
  • 2 c cold water
  • 2 1/2 T oil (I used corn oil since it's lighter in flavor)
Add dry ingredients on top

Make a little well and put in
  • 3 t yeast (decreased from 4 1/2 t)
Start machine. Scrape sides if needed.
