Ingredients

• 300 g Gluten-free wholemeal flour
• 100 g Brown rice flour
• 50 g Tapioca starch
• 1.5 tsp Xanthan gum
• 1 tsp Baking powder (low sodium)
• 1 tbsp Instant yeast
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 350 ml Warm water
• 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free wholemeal flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and baking powder. Stir together until well mixed.

Step 3

Add the instant yeast and stir to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and eggs until frothy.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. The batter should be thick but spreadable.

Step 6

Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
