Ingredients You'll Need
In order to have this recipe turn out, these are the necessities:
- 2 cups gluten-free blend flour (that contains xanthan gum OR add it separately)
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbspn sugar
- 1 tbsp instant or active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon ground flax (this can be added to increase fiber)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil or a neutral oil "(con. oleo)"
- 1 tsp. vinegar, apple cider
- 1 1 / 2 cups warm water
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Activation of Yeast
Blend the warm water (110 o F), sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Rest 5 10 minutes until foamy. This guarantees you a live active yeast. - Add Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl big enough to mix the ingredients, mix gluten-free flour, psyllium husk powder, salt, and flaxseed in case of using it. Whisk and mix thoroughly. - Wet and Dry Combine
Combine the yeast mixture, the oil and the apple cider vinegar into the dry ingredients. Combine beating 35 minutes using a stand or hand mixer. The dough must be sticky, however they have to stick together. - First Rise
Put a clean towel on the bowl. Leave the mixture in a warm place to rise to 45 min to an hour or until doubled. - Second Rise and Baking
Oil a 9x5-inch loaf pan or use grease or lining. Place them in their molds and spatula over the top removing any bumps. Cover and allow it to rise once again 30 minutes later.
Bake about 40-45 minutes at 375 o F (190 o C). The bread must be tapered (so that it becomes hollow).
- Cooling Properly
Allow the loaf to cool down entirely on a wire rack, then cut it. This saves against collapsing and makes it smoother.
