In support of Coeliac Awareness Week, here is my favourite gluten-free bread recipe! It’s healthy, full of protein & tastes amazing!

Recipe – Super Seeded Gluten-free Bread

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free flour of choice (e.g. rice flour, coconut flour, almond flour, amaranth flour, buckwheat flour, teff flour)
• 1/2 cup sunflower (pepita) seeds
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup linseed
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1/2 cup pistachios
• 1/2 cup chickpea flour
• 1/4 cup psyllium husks
• 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil, melted
• 1 tbs coconut or brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups water

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Line a large baking tray with baking paper & spread seeds & nuts across it evenly. Toast for 5-10minutes. Remove and place in a large bowl.
3. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl & stir to combine until thickens. Cover with a damp tea towel & leave to sit for 1 hour.
4. Grease a small loaf pan & line with baking paper. Spoon dough into the loaf pan, spread evenly & press down firmly.
5. Bake the loaf at 180C for ½ hour. Remove pan from oven & carefully lift out the loaf. Carefully, flip the loaf upside down onto the baking sheet and bake it for another ½ hour to 45min uncovered, until golden brown & firm.
