Course: Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (140 g) brown rice flour
  • 1 cup (120 g) chickpea flour
  • ½ cup (55 g) sorghum flour
  • ½ cup (60 g) arrowroot powder
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 2 teaspoons psyllium husk powder or ground chia/flax seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 large eggs lightly whisked
  • ½ cup (75 g) caramelized onion* or finely diced onion
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (42 g) honey
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) water

Instructions

  • Lightly grease an 8 x 4-inch (or 9 x 5-inch) loaf pan with olive oil. Line with a long enough piece of parchment paper so the wings overlay the long ends.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 F, then turn it off once preheated.
  • Whisk together the flours, arrowroot, seeds, yeast, psyllium husk, and salt in a mixer bowl (you can just use a fork or a handheld whisk). Attach the dough hook, add the eggs, onion, olive oil, and honey, then mix on medium-low until the dough is wet and crumbly.
  • With the mixer still running, drizzle in the water a little at a time, until the mixture forms a thick, spreadable batter.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the surface with a small spatula. Lightly grease a piece of plastic wrap, then use it to loosely cover the loaf pan. Place in the pre-warmed (but now off) oven, such that the dough rises enough to touch the plastic wrap. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • With the oven rack in the center, preheat the oven to 350 F. Bake the loaf for 40 - 50 minutes, until golden brown on top. A toothpick should come out clean and the surface of the bread ought to sound hollow when tapped.
  • Let the bread cool completely before serving, unless you're planning to eat it all immediately.
  • Store in the refrigerator or slice and freeze for up to 1 month.
