Let’s Bake!
Crafting this gluten-free sweet bread is simpler than you might think. Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
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.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, sugar, eggs, sweet bread essence, and honey. Make sure everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 3: Incorporate the Yeast Mixture
Gently fold the frothy yeast mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks are perfectly fine.
Step 4: Blend the Dry Ingredients
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!
Step 5: Add the Final Touches
Stir in the chopped dried and polished fruits of your choice. This is where you can get creative and personalize your sweet bread.
Step 6: Rise and Shine
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.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
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.
Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
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!
