Experience the nutty, rustic charm of Gluten-Free Pain aux Noix—an artisan-style bread perfect for those seeking a delicious gluten-free alternative. This hearty loaf combines the earthy crunch of chopped walnuts with a tender, golden crumb, thanks to a thoughtfully crafted blend of gluten-free flour, psyllium husk powder, and olive oil. Naturally sweetened with a touch of honey and leavened with active dry yeast, this bread rises beautifully for a light yet sturdy texture, ideal for everything from breakfast spreads to afternoon snacks. With just 20 minutes of prep time and a rewarding oven-bake, this recipe is simple enough for beginner bakers yet elegant enough to impress at any table. Whether slathered with butter or paired with your favorite cheese, this wholesome, nut-studded bread is a gluten-free delight that everyone will savor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F or 43°C) with yeast and honey. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to the dry ingredients along with the egg and olive oil. Mix until it forms a smooth dough. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and knead gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan.
Cover the dough lightly with the towel again and let it rise for another 20 minutes before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
