Savory, hearty, and genuinely satisfying, this sausage-studded loaf is the kind of baked good that makes people forget it's made without a single gram of wheat flour. The dough comes together as a thick, muffin-like batter — which is completely normal for gluten free bread — and the combination of xanthan gum, eggs, and apple cider vinegar gives the finished loaf real structure and a tender crumb. Browned Italian sausage rounds and melted mozzarella are folded right into the batter, so every slice is loaded with savory, cheesy goodness. Garlic powder and dried Italian seasoning do a lot of heavy lifting here, making the whole kitchen smell incredible while it bakes. The parchment overhang trick makes it easy to lift the loaf out cleanly, and letting it cool before slicing is the one step you really don't want to skip — the crumb firms up beautifully and holds together like a dream. With eight generous slices per loaf, this is a great option for feeding a crowd or meal-prepping something special for the week ahead.

Ingredients

8 servings

For the sausage

¾ lb italian sausage links

For the dough

2 cups gluten free flour blend
1 tsp xanthan gum (omit if your blend already contains it)
2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 standard packet)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried italian seasoning
3 large eggs
¾ cup warm water (about 110°f / 43°c)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For finishing

1 tbsp olive oil, for brushing
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the casings are browned all over, about 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool for 10 minutes, then slice into 1/4-inch rounds.
2
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.
