Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free wholegrain flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-7 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy and activated.
- Add olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir gently to combine all wet ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, sift together gluten free wholegrain flour, salt, and baking powder to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to create a smooth, consistent dough. Mix until no dry flour remains.
- Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes by hand, ensuring it becomes elastic and well-combined. The texture should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Lightly oil a bread loaf pan and transfer the dough into it, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for approximately 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) during the rising period.
- Once the dough has risen and nearly doubled in size, place the loaf pan in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the bread's top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips
- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active - this is crucial for a good rise in gluten-free bread.
- Use warm (not hot) water when activating the yeast to prevent killing the live cultures.
- Don't skip the rising time - this helps develop flavor and texture in gluten-free bread.
- Use a digital kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially with gluten-free flours.
- Cover the bread with aluminum foil if it starts browning too quickly during baking.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.
- Store the bread in an airtight container and consume within 2-3 days for best quality.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of apple sauce or Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
