Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour, garbanzo flour, cornstarch, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, cocoa, sugar, instant coffee, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
2
In a stand mixer, combine the eggs, egg white, warm milk, melted butter, and honey. Mix on low until incorporated.
3
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the mixer, continuing to mix on low speed until just combined. Increase the mixer speed to high and mix for about 4 minutes until the dough is smooth and well-blended.
4
Prepare your loaf pans by greasing and flouring them with Crisco and sweet rice flour to prevent sticking.
5
Use a spatula to evenly distribute the dough into the prepared pans. Loosely cover the pans with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm, moist environment for approximately 90 minutes until it has nearly doubled in height. (An effective method is to place the pans in a slightly warmed oven with a pan of hot water beneath.)
6
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the loaves have risen adequately, carefully remove the plastic wrap and place the pans in the oven.
7
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the loaves have a deep, golden brown color and sound hollow when tapped. Allow to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
