Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (about 3 medium potatoes; mashed smoothly)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (1:1 baking blend recommended)
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions
 

1. Prepare the Potatoes

  • Peel and boil potatoes until fork-tender.
  • Drain and mash until completely smooth—no lumps.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, olive oil, honey (or sugar), and warm water.
  • Stir until the mixture is creamy and well blended.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk gluten-free flour, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder if using.

4. Form the Dough

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
  • Stir until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  • Use a spatula or your hands to mix thoroughly.

5. Shape & Rise

  • Grease a loaf pan.
  • Transfer dough into the pan and smooth the top.
  • Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

6. Bake

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden on top.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Dough will be sticky—this is normal for gluten-free bread.
  • For a crispier crust, bake 5 extra minutes.
  • Let the bread cool fully to avoid crumbling.
