How To Make Gluten-Free Bread
Here are all the ingredients:
Here is the mixed dough, ready to get into the Instant Pot:
And here is the gluten free dough, inside the loaf pan, inside the Instant Pot:
- 2 cups fine almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup cup tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Salt to taste, optional (it is also good without any salt)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups warm milk
- ½ cup warm water + 2 cups water for the Instant Pot
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, yeast, and sugar.
- Melt butter in a microwave or over the stove.
- Pour milk, butter, and water into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until the dough comes together.
- Grease a loaf pan with some additional butter, the one that fits into your Instant Pot, and pour in the bread batter.
- Pour 2 cups water into the Instant Pot.
- Insert the trivet into the Instant Pot and place the loaf pan onto the trivet.
- Turn Valve to Sealing.
- Select the Keep Warm option on the Instant Pot and close the lid. Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
- Press the "Cancel".
- Cook at high pressure for 40 minutes.
- When cooking time ends, wait for a natural pressure release.
- Once done, open the lid, let it cool a bit and serve.
My bread did not get browned on top and just looked kinda wet… assuming this is from the steam. How did your brown? I steamed for 70 minutes
I haven’t made this yet, but I would assume you could put it in the oven for a few min to brown it on top.
I don’t think there is any need to brown the bread in oven. Bread is perfectly cooked in instant pot.
A loaf pan doesn’t fit in my Instant Pot. Any suggestions for a substitute?
Try to use the loaf pan that will fit in the instant pot.
What size insta pot do you need for this for a loaf pan to fit?
Help please I too followed the directions to the “T” and the recipe didn’t come out it was gummy and soup like. Was wondering if I could take out the 1/2 water in the recipe that goes into the bread? Any suggestions for maybe why this happened? Also my milk temperature was 110 degrees so it all should have turned out okay.
Can you use a springform round pan?
It will be better to use loaf pan in this recipe.
Can you use just Almond flour for the gluten free flour? If so, what would be the quantity? What about changes to use coconut flour instead? Wanting a low carb gluten free option to test out
If we replace the almond flour with gluten-free flour, than the ratio of other ingredients like eggs etc. must also be changed. I will upload the recipe of your choice at some other time.
I too need to sub out the almond flour for all-purpose gluten-free (pesky nut allergies, but the coconut flour is safe). But I’m not seeing the updated ingredient list. Did I just happen to miss it?
Hello Pauline, I rewrite the recipe to make it perfect. Hope it’s clear now 🙂
I’m still not clear on how to sub out the almond flour. Please post an amended recipe.
I use King Arthur flour gluten free measure for measure. Would I need to reduce the milk?
How much water do you put in the instant pot?
2 cups of water is added into the pot. It is clearly mentioned in the recipe.
Recipe should be altered to either remove water from the ingredient list or specify that the water is for the steam pot only.
It is mentioned in the instruction to put the water in pot.
I do no see mention of any water in the recipe.
Step 3 .
step 3 does not have any instruction for putting water in the pot at all nor does it say anywhere…..as a newbie instant pot user I definitely need to know these things! I really want to try this bread and don’t want to waste time or money- to bake things in my pot do they always need extra water? If you did update the instructions its not there….
What do you mean by ‘melted’ yeast? And why is xanthum gun not needed in this recipe?
I am not seeing that..there should be a comma between milk and yeast in the directions. no melted yeast seen as you mentioned.
Can you do this recipe in a bread machine?
Hi Somer
Yes you can But you need to follow the directions of your bread machine
Hey, Corrie, thanks for posting this recipe! Haven’t made it yet, but after reading the other posts, would it be helpful to cover the bread with foil while cooking. Artisan oven bread steams in the cast iron pot with the cover on. Just wondering. Other instant pot recipes call for a cover too. What do you think?
Hi Mary,
Thank you for you suggestion, it’s not necessary but I do think it’s a great idea if you want to do it 🙂
Wow, please re-post if you find a way to do it with any flour that is gluten-free besides almond flour. Almonds are so high in oxalates that it is a little dangerous to eat things that have too much almond flour in it because it’s so concentrated. I only use recipes with almond flour if it’s like a quarter cup or a half a cup for a very large amount. Would love to try this otherwise!
Can you sub regular yeast for instant yeast?? Yeast is scarce!!
Do you put water directly in pot or do you need to use the insert and then the trivet wit the loaf pan?
I have tried this twice now, both time I come nothing close to a dough…. Just soup. Seems like this calls for way to much liquid. 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup water and 2 tbs butter … What do I change? It is expensive to waste ingredients
I follow the instructions and got an amazing bread!! Thank you corrie!
You are welcome!
Jane, I attempted this recipe twice and ended up with extra runny batter. Any thoughts you can share from your success on what might be going wrong or what you did to have amazing bread? I ended up with mush.
Can you substitute the dairy milk for nut milk such as almond or coconut milk to limit dairy for those like me who are dairy intolerant?
Yes, you can sub milk with any nut milk.
In step 3, how long does it usually take before the dough “comes together”? Did you stir continuously or every so often?
It needs 2-3 mins. Just stirring constant.
I am allergic to almonds how do I substitute the recipe with All purpose gluten free flour? Thank you
Yes, all purpose gluten free flour will work.
You can use bob’s red mill gluten free flour, certified gluten-free mix or even macadamia nut flour.
I made this twice and both times it would not ‘come together”. The second
time I stirred it extra long. after following the directions precisely, twice, it came out soupy. Any comments on what I may be doing wrong?
Seems like a lot of liquid.
Low pressure vs high pressure? I don’t have a “manual” button. Thanks in advance.
High pressure 🙂
In your GF instant pot bread recipe there is no egg listed in the ingredients. Is this correct? This is the only recipe for GF bread that I have found without either whole egg or egg whites used as a binder (very important as it is gluten free).
Yes this is correct.
I am looking forward to trying this recipe in my manual pressure cooker. I will be putting the 2 cups of water in the cooker, not the bread mix as instructed!
I’m wondering if adding xantham gum will help with binding. Any thoughts on that?
It seems like there’s no responses on all the comments re: the batter being too soupy. I’ve had the same problem, and notice no one comments back on this question. Any feedback here? Followed the recipe exactly.
Can you substitute milk fir almond milk?
Is yeast and tapioca starch must in gluten-free bread recipe? Please guide. Thanks. And again thanks for sharing wonderful recipes.
I haven’t made this yet, but looking forward to. My wife is T2D and has celiac disease. Always looking for new recipes! Thanks Corrie
Can’t wait to see how it turns out! You’re very welcome.
