December 01, 2008 | No Comments »

It is possible to have yummy gluten free bread….

275g Dove Farms Gluten Free Brown Bread Flour (Doves Farms and available at many health food stores)

125g quinoa flour 

2 TBS psyllium husk

1 TBS of xylitol (natural sugar substitute)

2 Tsp(heaped) dry yeast

1.5 Tsp salt

125g whole linseeds

125g sunflower seeds

2 eggs

1 egg white

300ml water

100ml rapeseed oil or coconut oil

10ml apple cider vinegar

Mix the dry ingredients together and mix the wet ingredients together. Combine both together in food processor for 3 min.  The final mixture will be quite loose (unlike regular bread dough).   Pour into greased bread tin.  Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours.  Bake for 35 min at 180 C.  (To test if done, knock on bread and listen for hollow sound).   Allow to cool before serving.  Enjoy!
