Ingredients

  • 150 grams Polenta
  • 500 milliliters Boiling water
  • 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 10 grams Baking powder
  • 5 grams Salt
  • 60 milliliters Olive oil
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 30 milliliters Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the polenta with the boiling water, stirring continuously. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the polenta to absorb the water and thicken.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, and honey until well combined.

Step 5

Once the polenta has thickened, add the olive oil mixture to the polenta and mix thoroughly until integrated.

Step 6

Gently fold the polenta mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until fully combined. The batter will be thick.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Slice and serve as a side with your favorite soup or use it for sandwiches. Enjoy!
