Gluten Free Breads: Cupcakes, Foccacia, and Poppyseed Cake Loaf

  • 3¼ cups gluten free flour (I like Cup4Cup)*
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 packet (2 tsp) rapid rise instant yeast (I like Fleischmann’s)*
  • 2½ cups soy milk (Soy milk is best for baking)
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
Mix all the ingredients in a mixer for 5 minutes on medium.
Put it in a large bowl. Cover and let sit for at least two hours to rise. Fine to refrigerate after that.
I have used this basic bread recipe and adapted it to make all kinds of things from cupcakes to Foccacia.
Note: THIS WILL STICK. Spray the pan with cooking spray before baking.

For Cupcakes

  • Add one cup of sugar and one tablespoon of Mexican vanilla before mixing
  • Pour it into cupcake cups.
  • Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.
  • You will know it’s done when you can stick a toothpick in it and it comes out dry.
  • Add frosting and preferably dinosaur sprinkles.

For Foccacia

  • Layer it thin in the pan
  • Drizzle with olive oil
  • Add toppings
    • Try fig and prosciutto with parmigiano reggiano
    • Or rosemary and kalamata olive with parmigiano reggiano

For Poppyseed Cake Loaf

Perfect for picnics.

  • Add one cup of sugar, one tablespoon of Mexican vanilla, and a tablespoon of poppyseeds before mixing
  • Pour it into a non-stick-sprayed loaf pan.
  • Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.
  • You will know it’s done when you can stick a toothpick in it and it comes out dry.
