Gluten Free Ginger Ale Bread

I was trying to come up with a tasty gluten free bread similar to beer bread, and came up with this today. It is easy to make, gluten free, moist, and not a bit crumbly.

3 Cups ATK GF flour blend*

¼ cup sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp xantham gum

3 Tbsp melted vegan butter (use real butter if you don’t need it to be dairy free)

1 can Ginger Ale

Preheat oven to 375.

Stir together dry ingredients first. Add ginger ale and butter, stir until evenly combined. Pour into a greased loaf pan – stoneware is best of you have it.

Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. It will be slightly browned and cracked on top, but will not brown as well as bread made with wheat flour.

*I have found that ATK GF flour blend is the best 1:1 substitute for baking. You have to buy the individual ingredients and mix your own batch, but it is worth it. I use soy milk powder instead of milk powder because ours has to be dairy free. I usually make a double batch and just store it in a gallon size freezer bag in the freezer.

You could use a different GF flour blend, and I’m sure Sprite or Seven Up would make great bread too. Do not use beer. Beer contains gluten. Yes...you would be surprised how many people do not know that.
