1 tsp. vinegar or dough enhancer (or rice vinegar)
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
2 egg whites, room temperature

1 1/2 cups warm water (110 - 115 degrees)
Spray French loaf pan. In LARGE WIDE bowl, combine flour mix, xanthan gum, sugar, salt, and yeast. Whisk together to blend well.
Add egg whites, warm water, and vinegar. Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.
Spoon dough into prepared pan to almost full length. Smooth the top with wet hands. Cover with plastic wrap and towel and let rise 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350. Bake for 45-50 minutes. It should sound hollow when tapped on. To eat it hot and crusty, tear it apart. You won't be able to cut it until it's cool. The bread keeps for several days but the crust will become more tender with time.
