Instructions

Place the flours, starch, yeast, salt and xanthan gum in

a mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer. Warm the butter and honey in a glass bowl or cup until

the butter is melted. Whisk or stir it together and set aside. Using an

electric mixer (hand mixer, or stand), gradually beat the warm milk into the

dry ingredients. The mixture will be crumbly at first, but once all the milk is

added, it’ll come together. Add the melted butter and honey to the mixing bowl and beat until

thoroughly blended.



Add the eggs, one at a time. Beat the mixture till each

egg is thoroughly integrated before adding the next one. Once you’ve added all

the eggs, beat the mixture at high speed for 3 minutes. This adds air to the

thick batter, which helps take the place of the missing gluten as far as

structure is concerned.



At the end of 3 minutes, the batter will look like thick,

heavy buttercream icing: smooth and silky. The dough will also be very sticky,

and feel a bit gritty if you rub some between your fingers. Leave the batter

right in the mixing bowl and cover the bowl with a light cloth or plastic wrap.

Let the thick batter rise for 60-90 minutes. This batter won’t double in size,

but it’ll definitely puff up.



Gently stir the batter down. Scrape it into a lightly

greased 8

1/2” x 4 1/2” loaf pan. Use your wet fingers, or a wet spatula or bowl

scraper, to smooth the top, eliminating any “wrinkles.” The smoother your loaf

is before you put it into the oven, the smoother it’ll be once it’s baked. Lightly

sprinkle the top of the loaf with oats and press lightly into the loaf.



Loosely cover the pan and let the dough rise till it

barely crowns over the rim of the pan. 45 – 60 minutes, as much as 90. Towards

the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.



Bake the bread for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove

it from the oven, and turn it out of the pan onto a rack. Lightly brush with

melted butter to help keep the crust soft, being careful not to brush off the

sprinkling of oats. Slice when completely cool. Enjoy!

I think there may be two potential problems with this being hamotzi. The first is that rich liquids (eggs, honey, fat, milk) are used, rather than water. According to many (possibly all Ashkenazim) that's enough to disqualify it from being hamotzi. (This is why egg matzah is usually considered to be mezonot.)
The second is that the proportion of the hamotzi ingredient -- oat flour -- is too small relative to the other ingredients (tapioca starch, potato starch, rice flour).

This was discussed in an issue several years ago (2010, I believe) of Journal of Halacha in Contemporary Society. I'll try to find it.

I know they sound like strange ingredients, but are very neccesary when baking gluten free. When using gluten free flours you must use a binding agent such as xanthan gum or gyar gum. Otherwise your product will come out dense and gummy. I made that mistake this recently, by mistake left out the gum, and the resulting muffins were dense and had a bit of a sawdust texture.

And tapioca starch is not amy different than potato starch, just made from a different base. And in order to get the right texture in gluten free, combinations of different flours and starches need to be used.
