Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Lukewarm almond milk (or any gluten-free, non-dairy milk)
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Butter (softened, gluten-free, for filling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the lukewarm almond milk, eggs, and melted butter.

Step 3

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky but pliable.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, and gluten-free breadcrumbs in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into an oval shape using your hands or a rolling pin.

Step 8

Spread about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture onto the center of each oval piece of dough. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, sealing the edges to form a log shape.

Step 9

Repeat the process for all pieces of dough, then place the rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let the rolled dough proof for another 15-20 minutes.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle additional gluten-free breadcrumbs over them for extra texture.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Step 13

Allow the Spanish bread to cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free Spanish bread!
