How to Make Gluten Free English Muffins

  1. **Proof the Yeast:** In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 cup warm water (105-115°F). Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast over the water and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. **Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups white rice flour, 1/2 cup potato starch, 1/2 cup tapioca starch, 1 tablespoon xanthan gum, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. **Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons sugar, 2 large egg whites, and 2 tablespoons canola oil.
  4. **Combine:** Add the proofed yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
  5. **Incorporate Dry Ingredients:** Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until smooth.
  6. **Add Remaining Dry Ingredients:** Add the remaining dry ingredients and beat for 3 minutes using a stand mixer or vigorously by hand until well combined.
  7. **Prepare Muffin Rings:** Lightly grease 6 English muffin rings with oil spray and place them on a baking sheet.
  8. **Rise:** Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin rings, filling them about ¾ full. Let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes (regular yeast) or 25-35 minutes (quick-rise yeast) until doubled in size.
  9. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly before removing from the rings.
