Tania Hubbard - Almond & Chia Bread Recipe - Gluten Free Grain Free Bread Recipe
BREAD RECIPE - This is a wonderful gluten free bread recipe which is also grain free, dairy free, yeast free and sugar free. Easy to make. This bread stays soft (you don't need to toast it to enjoy!), freezes beautifully and can be made into lots of amazing products.
Ingredients
1 cup almond meal (I used almond meal because it is already blanched and easier for me to digest)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
30ml water
3/4 cups arrowroot or tapioca (remember to sift this to remove any lumps)
1 teaspoon bi-carb (baking soda) (sifted with the starch to remove any lumps)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (or use lemon juice if you cannot have vinegar)
3 eggs (usually no larger than 60 gram eggs)
pinch salt
Method
1. preheat oven to 175C (fan)
2. sift arrowroot and bi-carb (baking soda) into bowl
3. add almond mea, chia seeds and salt and mix well
4. use a whisk to combine the dry ingredients to help break up lumps and distribute ingredients evenly
5. add eggs, water and apple cider vinegar
6. combine everything well until there are no lumps (about 1 minute of whisking)
7. don't be tempted to add any liquid - this mix is meant to be thick
8. pour mix into a baking tin lined with non-stick baking paper or a silicon bread mold lightly oiled with olive oil
9. REMEMBER: this is a small loaf - a single mix - it won't rise and rise like traditional bread so you need to use a small baking mold to "force" the rise - a small stainless steel pudding bowl (mixing bowl) lined with baking paper works a real treat.
10. BIG LOAF: you will need to double the mix and bake in a loaf tin or 20 cm or smaller cake tin (lined with non stick baking paper)
11. bake for 25 minutes until the bread is firm (single loaf) to the touch and bounces back when lightly pressed. The top will be golden in colour and firm to the touch.
12. Remove bread from the oven and turn out onto a cooking rack.
13. Adjust cooking time to 45-50 minutes if cooking a double mix (larger loaf)
