Tips & Tricks
Ensure the milk is warm but not hot when adding it to the mixture to help activate the yeast.
Dusting the chocolate chips and nuts with cornstarch prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for best results.
Use rice flour for greasing the mold to maintain the gluten-free integrity of the recipe.
Store the bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh for longer.
FAQS
Can I use a different flour mix?
You can experiment with other gluten-free flour mixes, but the texture and flavor may vary.
How do I know if the dough has risen enough?
The dough should double in size and feel light and airy when touched.
Can I substitute fresh yeast with dry yeast?
Yes, you can use dry yeast. Use approximately 25 g of dry yeast as a substitute for 50 g of fresh yeast.
What is the purpose of xanthan gum?
Xanthan gum helps bind the ingredients and provides elasticity to the dough, mimicking the properties of gluten.
How can I make the sugar glaze?
Mix powdered sugar with a small amount of water or milk until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
