Ingredients

• 500 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 3 tbsp Psyllium husk powder
• 1 tbsp Instant yeast
• 2 tsp Salt
• 450 ml Warm water
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl or measuring jug, mix together the warm water, olive oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar until the honey has dissolved.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a thick dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 4

Knead the dough gently in the bowl for a couple of minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Psyllium husk powder will help the dough hold together.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has roughly doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour) and gently shape it into a round loaf.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut a shallow cross or split across the top of the dough to help it expand evenly while baking.

Step 9

Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet and allow it to rest for another 10-15 minutes.

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
