Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Warm water (around 110°F or 43°C)
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not already included in the gluten-free flour blend)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds or ground flaxseeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats and warm water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the oats.
Add the instant yeast and honey to the oat mixture. Stir well and let it sit for another 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, xanthan gum (if using), and baking powder. If using chia seeds or flaxseeds, add them here as well.
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir the vegetable oil and eggs into the oat and yeast mixture.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pan loosely with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until it has risen slightly.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
