Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Rice flour
- 100 g Tapioca starch
- 50 g Gluten-free oat flour
- 20 g Psyllium husk
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 350 ml Warm water
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Black seeds (Nigella sativa)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, gluten-free oat flour, psyllium husk, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix until you form a dough. It will be slightly sticky, which is normal for gluten-free dough.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
After the dough has risen, form it into a round loaf shape and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the top with black seeds and sesame seeds, pressing them slightly into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the bread is golden brown and has a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve with your favorite Moroccan dishes or enjoy as a standalone snack.
