Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1.5 cups Warm water (around 110°F or 43°C)
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not already included in the gluten-free flour blend)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds or ground flaxseeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)

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 medium bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats and warm water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the oats.

Step 3

Add the instant yeast and honey to the oat mixture. Stir well and let it sit for another 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, xanthan gum (if using), and baking powder. If using chia seeds or flaxseeds, add them here as well.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir the vegetable oil and eggs into the oat and yeast mixture.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer. The dough will be thick and sticky.

Step 7

Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pan loosely with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until it has risen slightly.

Step 8

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
