Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Gluten-free wholemeal flour blend
- 7 grams Dry yeast
- 10 grams Psyllium husk
- 5 grams Sea salt
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 15 grams Honey
- 400 milliliters Lukewarm water
- 20 grams Chia seeds
- 25 grams Sunflower seeds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free wholemeal flour blend, dry yeast, psyllium husk, and sea salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a separate small bowl, mix the lukewarm water, olive oil, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you have a thick batter.
Add the chia seeds and sunflower seeds to the batter and mix them in evenly.
Cover the mixing bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a bread loaf tin with a little olive oil, or line it with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, transfer it into the prepared loaf tin. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the loaf tin in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread once it's completely cooled and enjoy it as part of a heart-friendly meal!
