Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Teff flour
- 1 cup Sorghum flour
- 1 cup Tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 packet Dry yeast
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix together the teff flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and salt.
Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add the apple cider vinegar and olive oil to the bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a mixer or whisk until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick but not rigid; if too stiff, add water a tablespoon at a time.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease well with olive oil.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Cover the loaf with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it has risen to about double its original size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the bread for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
