Gluten-Free Brown Bread
There's been a revival in bread-making at home. Here's a lovely, grainy, seed-studded whole-wheat bread.
Prep Time: 6M, plus rising
Cooking Time: 40M
Serves: makes 1 large loaf
Ingredients:
Gluten, dairy, and nut free
- generous 2 cups brown rice flour
- 3 tbsp soy flour
- 1 tbsp xanthan gum
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- 11/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp nut-free flavorless vegetable oil, plus a little extra for the loaf tin
- 11/2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 13/4 cups lukewarm water
Directions:
- Oil a 2 lb loaf pan or a deep 8 inch round cake pan.
- Mix the flours with the xanthan gum, seeds, and salt in a food processor (with the ordinary blade attachment) or in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients.
- Either run the machine until it forms a sticky dough, then run it for 1 minute to knead it, or mix everything with a wooden spoon or hand beater, beating well for 1 minute once combined.
- Transfer to the pan and smooth the surface. Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and leave in a warm place until the dough reaches the top of the pan, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400° F. Remove the plastic wrap and bake in the oven until risen, golden, and the base sounds hollow when the loaf is tipped out and tapped, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Tips:
- You can also make this in the bread machine. Add the wet ingredients then the dry. Set the machine to "basic." This isn't suitable for cooking on the timer.
