Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice flour
• 0.5 cup Sorghum flour
• 0.5 cup Quinoa flour
• 0.25 cup Teff flour
• 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice flour, sorghum flour, quinoa flour, teff flour, and tapioca starch. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, and salt to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, olive oil, and warm water until smooth.

Step 5

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a thick, sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top with wet hands if necessary.

Step 7

If using sunflower seeds, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the dough and gently press them down.

Step 8

Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen by about 50%.

Step 9

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

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.
