Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-Free Whole Grain Flour Blend
• 10 grams Psyllium Husk Powder
• 7 grams Baking Powder
• 5 grams Sea Salt
• 60 ml Olive Oil
• 300 ml Warm Water
• 10 ml Apple Cider Vinegar
• 15 ml Maple Syrup
• 50 grams Sunflower Seeds
• 20 grams Chia Seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free whole grain flour blend, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, warm water, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup until thoroughly mixed.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Add the sunflower seeds and chia seeds to the dough and knead gently with your hands until the seeds are evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the dough to settle.

Step 8

Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Slice and serve as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
