Whether you're gluten-free by necessity or choice, this bread is a must-try addition to your kitchen repertoire!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the sesame seeds, reserving a small handful for topping.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a third bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and eggs until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and the egg mixture. Stir using a spatula until the dough begins to come together. The dough will be quite moist, more like a thick batter than a traditional bread dough.
Transfer the dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved sesame seeds evenly over the surface.
Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once risen, remove the towel and place the loaf pan in the oven.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
