Ingredients

• 450 grams Gluten-free wholemeal flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 350 milliliters Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and lightly spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free wholemeal flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, honey, apple cider vinegar, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a plastic spatula. Stir until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula. Lightly spray the top of the batter with olive oil spray to prevent the crust from drying out.

Step 6

Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Enjoy the bread fresh, or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
