Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 225 g tapioca starch ((same as tapioca flour))
- 100 g brown rice flour
- 75 g sorghum flour
- 1 tbs xanthan gum
- 1 tbs ground flax seed ((can be omitted))
- 1 tsp whole flax seed
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbs active dry yeast ((instant yeast okay; see Recipe Notes below))
- 1 1/4 cup milk (warmed to 110 deg F (43C))
- 3 eggs (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- 2 tbs honey
- 1 tsp whole flax seed
- 1 tbs sunflower seeds
- 1/2 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and stir together with a whisk; set aside.
- 2
Combine milk, eggs, olive oil, and honey in mixing bowl; mix well.
- 3
Add dry ingredients to the milk and egg mixture and mix for 1-2 minutes. A paddle attachment, dough hooks, or hand mixer beaters will all work with this dough.
- 4
Pour or scoop into a parchment-lined loaf pan. Make level with a spatula.
- 5
Scatter whole flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds on the top of the dough.
- 6
Gently press seeds into the dough with wet fingers or the back of a wet spoon.
- 7
Let the dough rise in the loaf pan in a warm draft-free location for about 1 hour (check at 45 minutes). Bread dough should be no higher than 1/2" above the edge of the pan. (see note below)
- 8
Preheat oven to 350 deg F (180 C). The bread dough will be slightly "jiggly".
- 9
Bake for 55 minutes. If you do not want the crust to overbrown, drape a piece of foil over the bread AFTER the first 35 minutes of baking (completely optional...see Recipe Notes below).
- 10
Bread is done when the internal temperature taken with a thermometer is over 200 deg F (93 C). A temperature reading close to 210 deg F is even better (98 C).
- 11
Remove from oven and let bread rest for 3-5 minutes.
- 12
Using parchment, lift bread out from the pan and set on a rack to cool completely.
- 13
Let cool completely before slicing.
