Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sunflower seed flour, tapioca starch, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, warm water, and olive oil.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a thick batter. Make sure there are no lumps, and the batter is well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle the top with pumpkin seeds for extra crunch and decoration.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve as desired. This bread is great fresh, toasted, or paired with your favorite spreads or toppings.
