This recipe is so delicious. It's easy to whip together, too! I took my easy French baguettes recipe and tweaked them a bit. A bit of cocoa and honey and GF oats sprinkled on top turns them into these delicious, soft brown bread loaves. They remind me of the Cheesecake Factory-style Brown Bread they serve that I haven't tasted in many many years.  Helpful tip: they sell egg whites in a carton near the eggs at the grocery store, which makes baking these even easier. Enjoy!

I've sliced them, like so, but you can slice them in little coins to serve with butter.

Yummy sandwich, ready to eat!

Cheesecake Factory-style Brown Bread Loaves

Makes ~8-9 loaves

Preheat oven to 375 F or convection 350 F. Line two pans with parchment paper.  

Mix together in a large mixer: 

2 cups tapioca starch

1 1/2 cups brown rice flour

6 Tbsp potato starch

3 Tbsp cocoa powder

1 Tbsp xanthan gum

1 Tbsp quick-rise/rapid-rise yeast

1 1/2 tsp salt

(optional) 1/2 cup GF steel cut oats (add 1/2 cup warm water if using the steel cut oats)

Add and beat 3-4 minutes: 

1 1/4 cup warm water (or 1 3/4 cup warm water if using GF steel cut oats)

1 cup egg whites

6 Tbsp honey

1/4 cup oil (avocado or olive are nice)

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Place batter into a freezer ziploc. Snip 1 - 1 1/2" from the corner.  Pipe loaves onto the parchment-lined pans. You want to have a bit of space between loaves to leave room for rising and puffing a bit during baking.  

Piped onto parchment paper-lined pans. 

Sprinkle the top of the loaves with: 

GF rolled oats

Topped with GF oats, ready to cover and rise!

Cover the loaves with upside down cookie sheets. Rise in a warm location ~40 minutes.  I find they puff, but don't fully double in size.  

After removing the upside down cookie sheets, ready for baking!

Bake at 375 F (350 convection) for 40-45 minutes.  Place baked loaves on a cooling rack. Slice once fully cooled. Slice and freeze these for perfect easy loaves to use later.  Delicious for sandwiches, toasted with butter and garlic as a garlic bread, with homemade egg salad or tuna salad and lettuce. Enjoy!

Nice and airy, with a delicious rich taste.
