Crafting this gluten-free sweet bread is simpler than you might think. Follow these easy steps:
Begin by gently warming some tibia water. Sprinkle in the yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Give it a stir and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy. This means it’s active and ready to work its magic.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, sugar, eggs, sweet bread essence, and honey. Make sure everything is well combined and smooth.
Gently fold the frothy yeast mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks are perfectly fine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free premix and baking powder. Now, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring constantly until just combined. Remember, avoid overmixing – a few lumps are okay!
Stir in the chopped dried and polished fruits of your choice. This is where you can get creative and personalize your sweet bread.
Grease a sweet bread mold. Transfer the dough into the mold, filling it about halfway. Cover the mold with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the dough has risen, bake the sweet bread for 40 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the sweet bread cool in the mold for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice, serve, and savor every delicious bite of your homemade gluten-free sweet bread!
