Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-free rye flour (or rye-style flour blend)
• 100 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Caraway seeds (optional)
• 400 milliliters Warm water (40-43°C or 105-110°F)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (plus extra for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rye flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, brown sugar, salt, and caraway seeds, if using. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the warm water, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This allows the psyllium husk powder to absorb the liquid and thicken the dough.

Step 5

Lightly grease a loaf pan (approximately 9x5 inches) with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 6

Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or damp hands.

Step 7

Cover the loaf pan with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen slightly and looks puffy. Gluten-free breads do not rise as much as wheat-based breads, so do not expect it to double in size.

Step 8

While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 9

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

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.

Step 11

Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
