Gluten-Free Pumpernickel Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 + 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (such as bob’s red mill)
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1 + 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons caraway seeds, toasted
• 5 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons agave
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 cup buttermilk, gently warmed
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees farenheight. Lightly grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Sprinkle the bottom with cornmeal.
2. Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. In the bowl if a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine all wet ingredients. Switch out whisk attachment for paddle, and with the machine running on medium speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. If the mixture looks too dry, add a little more buttermilk. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 3 minutes.
4. Spoon into prepared pan and smooth the top. Cover with a piece of greased plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise, about 30-45 minutes.
5. Once the dough has risen to the top of the pan, cover with tin foil, place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove bread from the pan using the parchment and place on the rack to bake for 5 additional minutes. Remove parchment paper and let cool completely on a cooling rack before serving.
