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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free wholemeal flour blend, dry yeast, psyllium husk, and sea salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, mix the lukewarm water, olive oil, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you have a thick batter.
Step 4
Add the chia seeds and sunflower seeds to the batter and mix them in evenly.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a bread loaf tin with a little olive oil, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, transfer it into the prepared loaf tin. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Slice the bread once it's completely cooled and enjoy it as part of a heart-friendly meal!
