This is from the St Johns List-Serv. I don't know the author, but I think it may be a Bette Hagman recipe. This is by far my favorite bread.

Sandwich Bread
1 1/2 cups Brown Rice Flour
1 cup White Rice Flour
1/3 cup Potato Starch
1/3 cup Cornstarch
1/3 cup Instant Dry Milk
1/3 cup Whey Powder
2 Tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast

Makes 1 Loaf

1. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together brown rice flour, white rice
flour, potato starch, cornstarch, instant dry milk, whey, dark brown
sugar, salt and xanthan gum. Whisk to combine.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, warm water, melted butter
and yeast.
3. Add dry ingredients. Using a handheld or stand mixer, blend on low
speed for 1 minute to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
4. Increase speed to high and "knead" dough for 15 minutes. 5. Turn
dough into a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Cover pan lightly with a piece of
plastic wrap and kitchen towel. Place pan in a warm, draft-free location
and allow to rise until double in size. 1 1/2 - 3 hours, depending on
room temperature.
6. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
7. Remove towel and plastic wrap from pan and bake for one hour or until
the internal temperature of the bread reaches 208º- 211º F.
8. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then turn bread out
onto a wire rack to cool.
9. Store in an airtight container or freeze. Do not refrigerate-this will
make for soggy bread.
The Secret Ingredient: Sweet Dairy Whey

I recently discovered that this recipe is from the book Easy Gluten Free Baking by Elizabeth Barbone (ISBN 0978667204). Wanted to update my original post to give credit where credit is due.

I also recently made this recipe using pecan meal for the sweet dairy whey (I was out). It worked really well. This is a really good recipe.

I have been experimenting lately with letting this bread rise overnight in the refrigerator. 6 hours in the refrigerator seems to give a great rise, and then I just pop it in the oven in the morning. Fresh bread for lunches. I do have to add an extra 5 or 10 minutes to get the internal temp up to 209, but it does not seem to make it brown too much.

May ask what is whey powder and where would you purchase it.

Whey powder is also known as sweet dairy whey. It is a powder, much like powdered milk. Its function is to add protein to the bread to as structure (much like adding powdered milk or gelatin does) I buy mine at the health food store. They carry it next to the powdered milk products. If you can't find it, you can just substitute additional powdered milk.

If you are interested, Elizabeth recently posted another version of this recipe over on Delphi. It's just as good as the original, and it does not contain the sweet dairy whey.

Lately, I have been making the "easy sandwith bread" version of this recipe from over on Delphi. It is so good. A few notes, if you decide to try it:

- if you use non-instant powdered milk, use only 1/2 as much. It really improves the texture.

- Substituting sorghum flour for 1/2 of the brown rice flour yields a great loaf. More flavorful, and higher in fiber.
