Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Polenta
- 500 milliliters Boiling water
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 5 grams Salt
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 30 milliliters Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the polenta with the boiling water, stirring continuously. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the polenta to absorb the water and thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, and honey until well combined.
Once the polenta has thickened, add the olive oil mixture to the polenta and mix thoroughly until integrated.
Gently fold the polenta mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until fully combined. The batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve as a side with your favorite soup or use it for sandwiches. Enjoy!
