Gluten-free multigrain bread
Gluten-free multigrain bread is a delicious and healthy alternative for those who are avoiding gluten.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1 cup sorghum flour
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- 2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups warm water
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
Optional Add-ins:
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
Prepare the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, mix the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice flour, sorghum flour, oat flour, tapioca flour, flaxseed meal, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey until smooth.
Mix the Dough:
- Add the frothy yeast mixture and the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms. If using, fold in the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
Let the Dough Rise:
- Transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Bake the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips:
- Ensure your ingredients are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or slice and freeze for longer storage.
- Enjoy your homemade gluten-free multigrain bread as a healthy and tasty addition to any meal!
