Brown Rice Bread Recipes

BROWN RICE BREAD

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Place 1/2 cup of cooked rice in a two cup measuring cup. Add oil and enough warm water to equal 1 1/2 cups. Add this mixture to pan of bread machine. Add flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Select cycle; press Start.

SOFT, FLUFFY BROWN RICE BREAD (GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE)

Steps:

• Grease an 8″x4″ metal loaf pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the brown rice flour, psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt together.
• Add the warm water, sunflower oil, and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix well to get a wet and shaggy dough (the dough is supposed to be shaggy, so don't worry).
• Transfer the dough to the greased loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
• Cover the dough pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise approximately 30 to 40 minutes in a warm, draft-free place until it has almost doubled in size. (Tip: I like to place the loaf pan in my microwave with the power off - it creates the perfect draft-free and warm environment for rising dough).
• During the last 10 minutes of the dough rising, preheat oven to 350F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position.
• Bake the dough for 40 to 50 minutes until bread has turned dark brown on top and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove loaf from the oven.
• Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes in the loaf pan, before removing and letting it cool completely on the wire rack. Use a serrated bread knife to slice once the loaf has completely cooled.

BROWN RICE BREAD

Steps:

• If you don't have any leftover brown rice, prepare 1/3 cup of uncooked rice and allow to cool a bit.
• Place 1/2 cup cooked rice in a 2-cup measure.
• Add olive oil and enough warm water to make 1 1/2 cups total.
• Pour rice mixture into pan of bread machine, and add all other ingredients per manufacturer's recommended order.
• Set machine for Basic setting and desired crust color.
• Bake.

BROWN RICE BREAD: GLUTEN FREE

Steps:

• Bring all refrigerated ingredients to room temperature. Grease a 5 x 9-inch loaf pan.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine eggs, oil, and lemon juice. In a large measuring cup, combine water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast; let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy. In a medium bowl, combine tapioca starch flour, brown rice flour, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, flax seed, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Add yeast mixture to the egg mixture, then slowly add dry ingredients a little at a time until completely incorporated. Mix batter on high speed for 31/2 minutes, then pour into prepared pan.
• Cover bread with foil and place in a cold oven. Set a pan of hot water on a lower shelf underneath the bread. Leave for 10 minutes with oven door closed. (This will cause the tread to rise quickly.) Remove bread from oven (do not uncover) and place in a warm place in the kitchen.
• Preheat I oven to 400°F Bread will continue to rise as oven preheats.
• Uncover bread and bake for 10 minutes to brown the top. Cover bread with foil and continue to bake bread for 30 minutes. Turn bread out onto a cooling rack. When completely cooled, wrap tightly to maintain freshness for as long as possible.
• TIPS: If humidity is high, reduce the amount of water in the recipe to avoid over rising. Many gluten-free bakers experience the frustrating situation in which a beautiful loaf of bread deflates once removed from the oven. You will need to experiment a little to get just the right amount of water in your bread depending on the humidity in the air. If in question, use less water than the recipe calls for.
• You may use rapid rise yeast instead of regular yeast. If doing so, eliminate the cold oven rise method with a pan of hot water, follow yeast package directions instead for rise time.
• Hamburger Buns.
• Pour batter into English muffin rings, follow directions above. Bake for just 15 minutes. Once completely cooled these buns freeze well. Always serve buns warmed, otherwise they will be crumbly.
