Baking Time
1 hour
Yields
1 loaf of bread (14 – 16 slices)
Bread Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice flour
- ¾ cup tapioca starch
- ¾ cup potato starch or arrowroot starch
- ½ cup millet flour
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- ¼ cup of extra virgin oil or oil of your choice
- 7 tbsp psyllium husk powder
- 2 tbsp ground chia seeds blended with about 6-8 tbsp of water and allowed to sit for about 5 – 10 minutes
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
Yeast proof Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup water temperature of about 100°F/37°C
- 2 ¼ tsp dry yeast (active)
- 2 tbsp honey
Directions:
- In a bowl mix well the flours, ground flax seed, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt.
- Add in the oil, chia seeds paste, apple cider vinegar, and the proofed yeast mixture and knead well into a thick and sticky dough
- Put the dough into the ready loaf pan and smoothen the top well
- Cover the dough with a lightly oiled piece of plastic wrap and leave it to sit in a warm place for about one hour, until it has risen just above the loaf pan.
- When the dough has risen remove the plastic wrap and place the pan into the 350°F / 177°C preheated oven and bake for about one hour
- Midway through baking, it is a good practice to cover the bread loaf carefully with a piece of foil to keep it from extra-browning.
- Once baked remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool down completely before you cut into slices.
- Just when baking is over you can sprinkle your load with flax seeds or any seeds or herbs of your choice
Notes:
- If you use instant yeast you will not need to proof it.
- In place of white rice flour, you may use brown rice flour
- Millet flour can be replaced with almond or other nuts flours.
- 7 tbsp psyllium husk powder can be replaced with 2 ½ tsp xanthan gum.
- Honey can be replaced with maple syrup or sugar
- The ground chia seed blend is a replacement for 3 egg whites.
- Wider sized loaf pans will bake faster than narrower size loaf pans.
- Once you get the hang of baking this bread you can play around with adding natural flavors, herbs, seeds, and nuts.
