65 Best Gluten-Free Bread Recipes (Beautiful Loaves) (2024)

I kicked off my gluten-free bread series, A Bountiful Bread Basket, with the Top 20 Gluten-Free Loaf Bread Recipesa good while ago. It’s been the most popular post here on gfe and for good reason as that roundup includes wonderful gluten-free bread recipes. But today I’m topping that post (and others in my gluten-free bread series) with 65 best gluten-free bread recipes!

I can’t say that I’m surprised at the success of my gluten-free bread series because folks are always looking for excellent gluten-free bread recipes and I’m always thrilled to collect the links and photos of the best gluten-free recipes from my blogger friends to share with you. (As always, all photos contained in my recipe roundups are copyrighted by their respective blog owners and are used here with permission.)

So I’m happy to report that today we’re continuing on with part 8 of this series—65 Best Gluten-Free Bread Recipes! (See the links to the entire Bountiful Bread Basket series at the bottom of this post.) Update: This collection of recipes previously included French bread and baguette recipes. Those recipes are now in The Best Gluten-Free French Bread Recipes (Including Baguettes) collection.

UPDATE:On April 4, 2023, Gluten-Free Watchdog issued a new statement,Gluten-Free Watchdog Cannot Recommend Any Brand of Gluten-Free Oats. Read the full statementhere. This statement was followed bydetails on recent testing results of gluten-free products that contain oats., which showed 30% of the labeled gluten-free oat products tested contained quantifiable gluten.

This statement was followed bydetails on recent testing results of gluten-free products that contain oats, which showed 30% of the labeled gluten-free oat products tested contained quantifiable gluten. I’m not eating any oats and I urge all of my readers who eat gluten free for medical reasons to also abstain.

I have divided these bread recipes into two groups, those which contain gluten-free grains (shown in the first grouping) and those which are both gluten free and grain free (shown in the last grouping), and I’ve listed them alphabetically by title.

I’ve also labeled the recipes to indicate gluten free, dairy free, egg free, refined sugar free, vegetarian, vegan, paleo, and primal, which I normally do. I’ve also noted whether the recipe is rice free, corn free, yeast free or xanthan gum free.

You will see some recipes that are labeled “nut free” as well, but not all the nut-free recipes here are labeled as such. I am very reluctant to label recipes “nut free” unless I personally know the nut-free status of all ingredients and “nut free” is not my area of expertise.

Therefore, I have only labeled recipes as “nut free” if the creator of the recipe has it labeled that way. (If you are nut free and a bread looks good to you, always follow the link to check out ingredients and see if the recipe will work for you.)

I have also labeled recipes based on the creators’ recipe titles (leaving out “gluten free” because that’s a given).

Remember that you can also use “Ctrl F” to bring up the “Find” feature and find all the occurrences of the labels you’re looking for here. It’s an easy way to find recipes that meet your needs without looking at all of these recipes. Okay, go find your new favorite gluten-free loaf bread recipe in these 65 Best Gluten-Free Bread Recipes! (Note that the gluten-free Cinnamon Raisin Bread and Cinnamon Swirl Bread recipes have been moved here.)

Update: This post originally included some Irish Soda Bread recipes. Those recipes are now in Part 10 of the series, which is included in the listing below.
