To Make In The Oven
In a small bowl mix together the yeast, sugar and warm milk. Stir, cover and set aside to proof for approx 10 minutes.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
When the yeast starts to bubble add it, along with the apple cider vinegar, oil and egg whites to the flour mixture.
Use the paddle attachment and beat the batter for 30 seconds until combined. Scrape down the edges and continue to beat for a further 3 minutes on a medium speed.
Line a 13 x 5 inch bread tin with baking paper, lightly spray it with oil and fill the tin with batter. Smooth off the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using, loosely cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel and place in a warm spot to allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.
When you have about 15 minutes left for your dough to finish rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C.
Remove the plastic wrap and place the bread tin in the oven. Cook for 60 - 65 minutes, cover with foil midway through to stop it from burning.
When cooked through, remove from the oven, cool in the tin for 5 minutes then allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
To Make In A Bread Machine
Note: You will need instant yeast, not active dry yeast for this version. Add your wet ingredients into the bread pan: that would be the almond milk, olive oil, sugar, egg whites, and apple cider vinegar, in that order.
Add your dry ingredients into the bread pan: the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Make a hole in the center of the bread pan, and pour your yeast into the hole. Select the "gluten free bread" setting and start your bread machine.
Alternatively, you could add all the ingredients at once, and if you did that, the order of the ingredients would be: almond milk, egg whites, oil, apple cider vinegar, flour, salt, sugar, yeast. Then you'd select "gluten free bread" for the setting and hit start. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
Note: If your bread machine does not have a gluten-free setting, choose the setting that has only one mixing cycle (typically it'll be the "quick" or "basic" or "rapid" cycle). Select light or medium for the crust.
