Ingredients

• 300 grams gluten-free wholemeal flour
• 200 grams gluten-free bread flour blend
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 350 milliliters warm water
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds (ground)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl or large measuring jug, mix together the warm water, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously. Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Fold in the ground flaxseeds and chia seeds into the batter until they are evenly distributed. This will add a pleasant texture and additional nutrition to your bread.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the pan loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has noticeably increased in size.

Step 8

Once risen, place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Slice and serve as desired. This bread keeps well for a few days in an airtight container or can be frozen for longer storage.
