Ingredients

• 1 cup millet flour
• 1 cup sorghum flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 0.5 cup quinoa flour
• 0.25 cup ground flaxseeds
• 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 cups warm water
• 2 large egg
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine millet flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, quinoa flour, ground flaxseeds, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and chia seeds. Let it sit for a few minutes until the chia seeds start to gel.

Step 4

In the flour mixture, create a well in the center and pour in the wet mixture along with the cracked eggs.

Step 5

Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until you have a smooth batter-like consistency. The dough will be much softer than traditional bread dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 7

Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
