Yummy Foolproof Gluten Free French Bread!

• 1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/4 cups warm water (110 F)
• 2 cups gluten-free flour (see Gluten Free Flour Blend)
• 1 cup potato starch or 1 cup arrowroot
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon guar gum
• 1/4 cup powdered milk (cow, rice or soy)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon Earth Balance margarine or 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1 egg white, beaten for wash (optional)

1. In bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and set aside for 5 minutes, or until yeast foams.
2. Grease French bread pan or line with parchment paper.
3. In bowl of a Bosch or Kitchen Aid mixer, combine ingredients, except the egg wash, then add the yeast mixture.
4. Beat on low speed to blend; beat on high speed for 2minutes, stirring down sides with spatula. Dough will be soft.
5. Divide dough in half on the prepared pan. Smooth each half into 12-inch-long logs with wet spatula.
6. Brush with egg wash for glossier crust, if desired. Make 3 diagonal slashes (1/8 inch deep) in each loaf so steam can escape during baking.
7. Place immediately on the middle rack of a COLD oven. Set the temperature at 425u0b0 F and bake for 30-35 minutes, until nicely browned.
8. Remove bread from pan; cool completely on wire rack before slicing with electric knife. Makes 2 loaves.
