My daughter and I went wheat free several months ago and I have been searching for the perfect gluten-free, whole grain bread recipe.
The gluten-free bread from the supermarket is not only ridiculously expensive, it is loaded with additives and mostly white with no wholegrainy goodness – not something we want to be eating!
I was so happy to come across this recipe from the Gluten Free Goddess.
It’s a cracker!
If you have a thermomix, you can mill most of the grains in your thermomix to make your own flours.
I make double batches, slice and freeze it. I don’t eat a lot of bread, but I like having a nice piece of toast for my poached egg in the morning. I can also make this recipe mostly organic too. Here is my version of this fab recipe.
Okay, so this is what you need:
2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1/2 cup warm, filtered water
1 tablespoon organic maple syrup
3/4 cup organic brown rice flour
3/4 cup organic almond meal
1/2 cup organic millet flour
1/2 cup organic buckwheat flour
1/4 cup organic quinoa flakes
2 tablespoons organic coconut flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1/4 cup liquid coconut oil (sit it in some hot water)
3 organic eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup warm, filtered water
* I make the flours and almond meal in my thermomix.
Okay, so this is how you do it:
Add the yeast to 1/2 cup warm water with the maple syrup and set aside.
Fling all the dry ingredients together and mix well.
Add the yeast mix, the coconut oil and the lightly beaten eggs.
Stir together well. Add the 1/2 cup of warm water, a little at a time until it’s smooth. It should be the consistency of a muffin batter.
Pour the mix into a lined, medium loaf pan. Set it somewhere warm and let it proof for about an hour. Sprinkle with some quinoa flakes.
Bake the bread at 180 degrees celsius for 50-60 minutes. It should be nice and golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool on a rack. Wait till it cools and then be gentle with slicing – use a serrated knife.
As always, let me know if you give this a go and what you think.
Does anyone else have a great wg gf bread recipe to share?
