Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Fine polenta
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 5 grams Salt
- 2 grams Baking soda
- 80 ml Olive oil
- 250 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 10 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 50 ml Maple syrup
- 15 grams Ground flaxseeds
- 45 ml Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseeds with the water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
In a large bowl, whisk together the polenta, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
In another mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and the prepared flax egg. Mix until all liquids are well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid a dense bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the polenta bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired. It's perfect on its own or with a spread of dairy-free butter.
