Begin by making sure your bread maker pan is in place with the paddle attached.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, salt, and yeast until everything is well blended. If you need to add xanthan gum to the recipe, this is when you will also be adding it to the recipe.
Next, pour the warm water, butter, apple cider vinegar, and whisked eggs to the bread pan. You do not need to mix everything together.
Once the liquid ingredients have been added to the bread pan, add the dry ingredient mixture on top of the liquid mixture. Once again, don’t worry about mixing everything together.
Close the lid and select the “gluten-free” setting. If your bread maker does not have a gluten-free option, select the “basic” setting with a medium crust. The bake time for this should be about 2 hours and 10 minutes. However, each bread maker may vary.
After the first 5 minutes, take a rubber spatula and gently press down the sides where the flour may have built up and gently fold the flour sections into the dough. I very carefully try to do this until there is no flour showing. Then, level the top of the dough mixture as much as I can to try and help the dough mixture ride level across the top and not in a wonky shape. Making sure the flour is thoroughly mixed in during this step will help prevent pockets of flour on the sides.
Close the lid and allow the bread maker to finish the remaining time by running through all of the cycles. Do not open the lid going forward.
Once the bread machine is done, carefully remove the pan using oven mit. The pan and handle may still be warm to touch. Very carefully remove the bread from the pan by flipping the bread pan over onto a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing or before attempting to remove the paddle if it gets backed into the bread.
Serve and enjoy!
