Ingredients
  • 60g/2¼oz/¹⁄₃ cup potato starch
  • 60g/2¼oz/½ cup cornstarch
  • 150g/5½oz/heaped ¾ cup brown rice flour
  • 50g/1¾oz/¹⁄₃ cup maize flour
  • 50g/1¾oz/scant ½ cup gram flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp ground mixed spice
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • zest of ½ lemon
  • 150g/5½oz unsulphured dried apricots, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 tbsp dried active yeast
Method
  1. Remove the bread pan and set the kneading blade.
  2. Sift the flours into a large mixing bowl, add the salt, sugar, spice, xanthan gum and lemon zest and, using a metal whisk, mix thoroughly.
  3. Pour 350ml tepid water into the bread pan.
  4. Add the flour mixture, then add the chopped apricots. Wipe the outside of the bread pan to remove any flour or liquid.
  5. Put the bread pan into the Bread Maker, turn slightly clockwise and close the lid.
  6. Place the dry yeast in the yeast dispenser.
  7. Select the bake menu number 12 by pressing the Menu pad.
  8. Press the Start pad to start the machine.
  9. When the machine has finished, press the Stop pad, remove the bread and leave to cool on a wire rack.
  10. *If your Panasonic breadmaker does not have a yeast dispenser, then add the yeast with the flour as per point 4.
  11. Please note, when I tested this I found that the paddle remained in the loaf which may be caused by the gluten free flour used.
