Liquid ingredients:

cups of water  
large eggs (approx. 1/4 cup each)  
tbsp. liquid cooking oil (canola oil)  
tsp. cider (or balsamic) vinegar  
tbsp. honey  
Dry ingredients:

-1/4 tsp. (1 packet) yeast  
-1/2 cup white rice flour  
cup brown rice flour  
/2 cup potato starch  
/4 cup amaranth or bean flour  
scant tsp. xanthan gum  
/2 cup dried/powdered milk  
-1/2 tsp. salt  
tbsp. sugar  
tsp. of poppy seeds  
All of the ingredients should be at room temperature. Mix the liquid ingredients together  
in order and put them into the bread maker loaf pan. Next, mix all the dry ingredients  
together in the order listed, and pour them into the loaf pan. (Make sure that your bread  
maker will handle that large a loaf. A lot of bread makers will only do one or one-and-a-  
half lb. loaves).  
After the ingredients are mixed thoroughly (the first mixing cycle), peek into the bread  
maker. If it looks like soup, add a little more flour (and, next time, cut back to 1-2/3 cups  
water). Starting with 2 cups of water, the dough shouldn't be too dry; if it is, though, add  
a couple tablespoons of warm water.  
The amaranth and bean flours both have distinctive tastes, so you may prefer to use just  
the rice flours; you can try substituting tapioca starch and/ or potato starch for an equal  
amount of rice flour. I've had a lot of fun experimenting with different flours and  
proportions; only two loaves have been inedible, so far.
