2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
2 small eggs (or 1 egg plus one egg white, medium)
3 tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp vinegar (or dough enhancer)
1 cup warm water

Instructions

1 – Combine all dry ingredients except yeast. May be stored in this condition for months in a ziplock style bag.

2 – Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3 – Grease 8 1/2” by 4 1/2” bread pan and flour with rice flour, or grease and flour muffin tins for buns.

4 – In heavy duty mixer, whisk eggs, and vinegar (or dough enhancer), add butter. Add about 3/4 of the warm water.

5 – Combine yeast with the dry mix and slowly add to the wet ingredients with the mixer on low.

6 – The mixture should be like a very thick cake mix, add more of the warm water as needed.

7 – Turn mixer to high and beat for 4 minutes.

8 – Turn dough out into the pan for baking.

9 – Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (on top of oven is usually a good place) until the dough has doubled in size.

10 – Bake in 400 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes for loaf, 30 to 40 minutes for rolls. Cover with aluminum foil after 10 minuts for light crust on top, 20 minutes for medium crust on top.

11 – Remove from oven, allow to cool 20 minutes before cutting for best results.
