Discover the wholesome charm of Gluten-Free Brown Soda Bread, a rustic, no-yeast loaf that’s perfect for those with gluten sensitivities. Crafted with a nutritious blend of oat and brown rice flours, this recipe incorporates chia seeds and ground flaxseed for extra fiber and heartiness. Lightly sweetened with honey and tenderized by creamy buttermilk and a touch of apple cider vinegar, this soda bread bakes to golden perfection in just under an hour. With its quick prep time and deeply satisfying flavor, it’s the ultimate gluten-free bread for pairing with soups, stews, or a simple pat of butter. Whether fresh out of the oven or lightly toasted, this easy, homemade loaf will become a staple in your kitchen.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oat flour, gluten-free brown rice flour, baking soda, salt, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl or a large measuring jug, combine the buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually add the wet mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface with some additional oat flour. Knead very briefly, just until the dough comes together.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross (about 1 inch deep) on top of the loaf. This helps the bread rise evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve the gluten-free brown soda bread warm with your favorite spreads or alongside a hearty soup.
