In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 120 milliliters of warm water. Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
In another bowl, mix the yeast, sugar, and the remaining 120 milliliters of warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt.
Add the chia seed gel, yeast mixture, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients.
Use a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
