Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 100 g Pesto sauce
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 30 g Pine nuts, toasted
- 20 g Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the olive oil and almond milk, mixing well.
Combine wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a dense bread.
Fold in the pesto sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts into the batter until they're evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves before serving for an extra touch of freshness.
