I made this bread earlier this week and wow is it delicious! It is gluten free, vegan and super healthy, the teff flour as well as the all purpose gluten free flour is full of fibre and protein, and the added chia + pumpkins seeds give it an extra health boost. My family and I both love this bread recipe, for its healthy benefits, good taste, and to make it even better, it was really easy to make! I hope you try it out and enjoy it just as much as I did.
What You'll Need
1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
1 cup gluten free teff flour
1 tsp. exanthan gum
3 tbsp. ground flaxseed
dash of sea salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups unsweetened original almond milk
1 tbsp. maple syrup
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp. lemon juice
4 tbsp. seeds ( I used pumpkin seeds + chia seeds)
- Preheat oven to 325 F
- Combine flour, flaxseed, salt, baking soda, mix well.
- Combine maple syrup, olive oil, lemon juice and almond milk is a separate bowl, mix well.
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients, mix lightly with your fingers ( it will be fairly sticky), mix for approx. 5 mins.
- Place dough onto a greased baking sheet ( I used Pam) and form into one large loaf
- Cut a small cross over the top of the bread
- Brush the top with a little extra almond milk, sprinkle with seeds and press them in lightly
- Bake for 50 minutes, then reduce heat to 285 F and bake for another 17-20 mins. until cooked through.
* The only thing I would change when I make this bread again would be to put the dough in a loaf pan instead of on a baking sheet. That way it would be easier to cut and use for sandwiches ect.
This looks and sounds absolutely delicious! I will try it. I wonder if I can use brown rice flour as an all purpose gluten free flour. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI would say for sure give it a try! The original flour used in the recipe is 2 cups spelt flour, but since it is not gluten free I could not use it so I used gluten free alternatives that had a similar texture to spelt flour and I found that teff flour and brown rice flour were the most similar in texture. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
