Equipment
- Bread Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 7 tbsp water
- 1¾ cup all purpose flour or 1:1 gluten free baking flour
- ½ cup buckwheat flour
- ¼ cup psyllium husk powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2¼ tsp instant yeast
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup light olive oil
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk, warm
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl mix the flaxseed and water, set aside for 5 minutes to allow it to become a gel like substance.
- In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer whisk together the flours, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, yeast, sugar and salt.
- Add the remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. (Mixture will be sticky.)
- Place the batter into the prepared tin, spread the batter with a wet spatula. Sprinkle with seeds, cover and allow it to sit in a warm place for 45-60 minutes to double in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 176 C.
- When the dough has risen remove the cover and place in the oven to cook for 45-50 minutes. The bread should be ready when it sounds hollow when tapped and the outside is crusty.
- Allow the dough to cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing into 16-18 slices.
- Bread will remain fresh for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Sliced bread can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- Using a wet spatula to smooth the dough helps to stop the dough from sticking to the spatula while spreading.
- To stop the seeds from falling off the top of the loaf after cooking, gently press the seeds into the top of the loaf.
- To make this bread gluten free, substitute the all purpose flour with your favorite gluten free flour blend.
