Hazelnut Free Gluten Free Brioche

Brioche is one of those breads that feels almost impossibly luxurious — golden, pillowy, and rich with butter — and this gluten-free version delivers every bit of that magic without a trace of wheat or tree nuts like hazelnut. The secret is a carefully balanced blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch, which together mimic the soft, tender crumb that makes brioche so irresistible. Xanthan gum steps in to provide the structure that gluten normally would, while the slow butter incorporation technique gives the loaf that signature glossy, smooth dough and a beautifully rich flavor. The egg wash baked on top creates a deep, burnished crust that looks like it came straight out of a French bakery. Because you're working entirely from scratch with straightforward pantry ingredients, there's no guesswork about hidden nut-based additives or shared-facility cross-contact concerns. Let the loaf cool fully before slicing — it's hard to wait, but the crumb genuinely sets up better and slices cleaner for it. Whether you're serving it toasted with jam or using it as the base for an indulgent sandwich, this loaf is the kind of bake that makes people forget it's anything other than the real thing.
