Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add olive oil and the flaxseed mixture to the flour mixture.
Gradually add the 0.75 cup of water, mixing until the dough comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a circular ring, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place the rings on the prepared baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place.
Once risen, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each kaak ring.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top of the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious, gluten-free cheese kaak!
