47. Gluten, Egg and Dairy Free Bread

This is for those with a programmable bread making machine

Ingredients

1.4 cups of water
3 tbs of honey
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cider vinegar
3 tbs oil
1-1/2 tbs of xanthan gum
1 cup of millet flour
1 cup of cornstarch
1 cup of tapioca flour
1 packet of active yeast (not the rapid rise type)

Directions

Sift the flours and xanthan.
Add the first 5 ingredients to the bread machine, then add the flour.
Make a well in the middle of the flour then add the yeast.
Program machine for following times:
20 minutes to preheat
20 minutes to knead
75 minutes to rise
55 minutes to bake
Notes: Be sure to use only 1 kneading cycle. Check the dough as it begins to knead to see if you need to add more water or more flour. The dough should look somewhat wet, and swirl up above the beaters when it's kneading, but should not be too thin.
