Ingredients

• 250 g Rice flour
• 100 g Tapioca starch
• 50 g Gluten-free oat flour
• 20 g Psyllium husk
• 7 g Active dry yeast
• 350 ml Warm water
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tbsp Black seeds (Nigella sativa)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, gluten-free oat flour, psyllium husk, and salt.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 4

Mix until you form a dough. It will be slightly sticky, which is normal for gluten-free dough.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 7

After the dough has risen, form it into a round loaf shape and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top with black seeds and sesame seeds, pressing them slightly into the dough.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the bread is golden brown and has a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 11

Serve with your favorite Moroccan dishes or enjoy as a standalone snack.
