Bread recipe

As promised the recipe for the bread. I made double the quantity and 2 loafs fit nicely on a baking tray without touching.

The recipe below is for one bread:

260 gr. Sorghum flour
120 gr. Potato starch
40 gr. Flax meal
20 gr. Chia meal
12 gr. Psyllium husks
1 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 Tbsp. Baking powder
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
500 ml. very cold water

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Prepare an oven tray with greaseproof paper.

I grind my own flax and chia seeds with a small coffee grinder, you can purchase it however as meal in the health shops.

Mix all the dry ingredients very well, except the baking powder. You don't want to end up with small pockets of potato starch in your bread.

Mix in the water and the olive oil. I use a stand mixer. You will find that the dough is very wet initially but as you keep mixing the flax and chia meal absorb water.  Add the baking powder and mix well. You should end up with a very stiff batter, which releases from the bowl relatively easily using a spatula. You won't be able to knead this dough.

Using the spatula, place the dough in the middle of the tray in a heap. Poor some olive oil (1 Tbsp) on your hand and use it to smooth the bread into a bread shape, making sure that you are covering the entire surface and sides with the oil. Make a few cuts on top of the bread and put it in the oven for 35 minutes.

Check that it is baked to perfection by tapping the bottom of the bread. If it sounds "hollow" the bread is done. Put the bread on a  cooling rack, don't cover and don't cut it until for at least half an hour.

Enjoy !
