Note: This recipe uses my gluten-free flour mix: Jeanne's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix (mix together and store in fridge): 1 1/4 C. brown rice flour 1 1/4 C. white rice flour 1 C. tapioca flour 1 C. sweet rice flour (also known as Mochiko) 2 scant tsp. xanthan gum
(you can also use the gluten-free flour mixture of your choice--just be sure it contains xanthan gum. Or, you can add 1/4-1/2 tsp. xanthan gum per cup of gluten-free flour. If you use bean flour, it will add a bean taste to the bread)
Special Equipment Needed -a hand mixer is nice for mixing the batter -6 C loaf pan (8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2)
Ingredients 1 1/2 C Jeanne's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour 1 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 C milk 1/3 C orange juice (I like to use freshly-squeezed) Zest of one orange, finely grated 6 TBL butter, softened 2/3 C sugar 2 large or extra-large eggs, room temp 3 TBL poppy seeds extra butter and tapioca flour for pan
Preheat oven to 350 degrees -butter and flour pan using tapioca flour -in a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt -in another small bowl, whisk together orange juice, zest, and milk -in a large bowl, beat butter with hand mixer until fluffy -add sugar and beat more -add eggs, one at a time, beat after each addition -alternately add flour mixture and milk mixture to butter mixture, starting and ending with flour mixture -fold in poppy seeds -pour batter into prepared pan--smoothing top -thump pan on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles -bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes--until a tester comes out clean -cool in pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto rack to complete cooling
Enjoy!
