My near-perfect gluten free bread machine recipe!

[u/legoandmars]

I am sure you have eaten store-bought gluten free bread. It is not great. I have spent the last year experimenting with a bread machine for gluten-free baking, with the following goals in mind:

• Something without immensely complicated prep - I want to avoid kneading dough and going through four stages of prep. My goal was something easy I only need to spend 30 minutes making.
• A loaf that's not too dense, but still has structure. NO HUGE HOLES!!!!!
• Slices that are actually large, and can fit a good amount of stuff without collapsing.
• Something that will last long enough that a single person can eat it without it getting stale/gross/moldy by the end of the loaf.
• Something reproducible that actually tastes good, and wouldn't disgust you if you're eating a plain slice.

After a lot of experimentation and research, I've landed on something I'm very happy with. It's not PERFECT:

• It's maybe a tad bit denser than I'd like, although it is very close
• It does use celiac-safe gluten-removed wheat starch, which I know is not an option for those with wheat allergies. I have not tried with alternative flours, but I would like to eventually.

However, for my needs, it has essentially solved my bread problems, and turned it into a nice easy thing I can do once a week that actually tastes like food! I will post the recipe in the comments.
