Can I bake bread in a Bread machine with Swag gluten free flour?
I’ve tried a few different recipes but they aren’t rising! Any help will be appreciated. The best recipe so far is:
1.5 cup the swag gf flour (amaranth, sorghum, millet, rice, corn, water-chestnut, soybean, arrowroot mixture)
3tbsp Sugar
1tsp salt
2tsp psyllium husk
2.125 tsp yeast
.5 cup warm unsweetened almond milk
.25 cup olive oil
3 eggs (whites whipped to peaks)
1tsp apple cider vinegar
I put all the liquids in first, then dry, then yeast, and set it for quick bread. I read that if you do not have a gluten free setting on your machine to use quick bread setting.
What am i doing wrong? How do i make this dough rise?

I am afraid your chances aren't good.
Wheat bread with yeast, gluten-free bread, and wheat quickbread are made in different ways. The wheat bread with yeast is ideally made with several cycles of kneading and rising. A gf bread is not kneaded, just mixed, and then has to rise once. The quickbread is also not kneaded, but it has to be baked immediately, without a rising time. So, if you want to make any of these with a bread machine, you have to use a program that was engineered to deliver the needed conditions.
If your machine has no gluten-free program, then it is unlikely that any of the other cycles matches the conditions needed for gluten-free bread. There is some likelihood that some of the programs that you have can match some kind of recipe such that the result is not inedibly terrible, but discovering such a combination would require a lot of experimentation, and the result will only be valid for your exact breadmaker model. Also, the result is unlikely to be especially good.
In the end, if you are making the bread frequently, it may be worth investing in a new breadmaker, after researching which one has a decent gf-program (and then you will have to find out which recipes work - which may or may not use the exact flour mixture you have). If this is a one-off occasion, just buy the bread from a store. GF-bread is very finicky, and probably not worth the learning curve if you won't make it regularly.

Why is my gluten free bread not rising in bread maker?
Gluten-free yeast breads do not handle two rises well at all. They need extra mixing time, and only one rise cycle. You need to make sure to get a bread machine with a gluten-free setting as it is programmed for this method.How do you make gluten free bread in a bread maker?
Place pan in bread machine and select gluten free program, then start. After 3-5 minutes of kneading, gently scrape down the dry ingredients stuck on the sides of the pan with a spatula. The bread machine will take care of the rest including the rise and baking.What does a gluten-free setting on a bread machine do?
The Gluten-Free Bread Machine Cycle It sometimes consists of just an initial mixing and kneading time, a wait for the dough to rise fully and then actually baking the bread. This is essentially the same as the "quick bread" setting, so if your machine doesn't have a gluten-free cycle, you can use that instead.What if my bread machine does not have a gluten-free setting?
If your bread machine does not have a gluten-free setting, you will want the setting that only has one mixing cycle (it's often the quick, rapid, rapid rise, one rise or basic feature). You can also override the pre-programmed settings for a 20-minute mix cycle, 1-hour rise cycle, and 1 hour-bake cycle.Homemade Gluten Free Bread Recipe Made EASY! (in Bread Machine)
