In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl or measuring jug, mix together the warm water, olive oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar until the honey has dissolved.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a thick dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Knead the dough gently in the bowl for a couple of minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Psyllium husk powder will help the dough hold together.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has roughly doubled in size.
Once risen, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour) and gently shape it into a round loaf.
Using a sharp knife, cut a shallow cross or split across the top of the dough to help it expand evenly while baking.
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet and allow it to rest for another 10-15 minutes.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
