I think it's time for a bread recipe here! So far I have really been struggling with finding a recipe that would not take ages to prepare and tons of luck to succeed. Of course I used the ready flour blends for gluten free bread, but I am not entirely sure what they contain and their price is a bit ridiculous.
I came across this recipe on one of the blogs I've been reading (olgasmile). I tried it for the first time already a while ago, but I wanted to make it at least a couple of times to make sure it's this kind of recipe that always works out. So many times I've tried a new recipe and the result was terrible.. I don't want to waste kilograms of ingredients and hours of oven work just to realise the recipe works out once out of ten trials.
So this one, I can assure you, is perfect! Healthy, tasty and gluten free. Doesn't get better than this. At least until I figure out a new recipe that could beat this one:).
Ingredients:
1 ½ cup of buckwheat flour
1 ½ cup of rice flour
½ cup of amaranth flour
⅓ cup of potato flour
500 - 550 ml of water
3 tablespoons of linseed (ground)
2 teaspoons of dried yeast
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil + a bit extra for greasing the form
optionally: 1 teaspoon of your favourite herbs like oregano, basil, etc.
1 ½ cup of rice flour
½ cup of amaranth flour
⅓ cup of potato flour
500 - 550 ml of water
3 tablespoons of linseed (ground)
2 teaspoons of dried yeast
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil + a bit extra for greasing the form
optionally: 1 teaspoon of your favourite herbs like oregano, basil, etc.
Preparation:
1. Grease a baking form with some olive oil.
2. Put the ground linseed in a bowl and pour in 200 ml of boiling water, mix with a spoon and leave for 5 minutes. Afterwards blend it with a hand blender to get a sticky and smooth texture.
3. In a bigger bowl, put all dry ingredients and mix them together, then add the remaining 300 - 350 ml of water, the linseed mixture and olive oil. Mix together until smooth. The dough should have a rather thick texture.
4. Put the bread dough into the baking form, cover with a tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 50 - 60 minutes.
5. Bake at 190 degrees (top/bottom heat).
6. Wait with slicing until it's cold, otherwise you might end up with a sad layer.
