Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • 8x4-inch loaf pan
  • Measuring cups
  • Spatula or dough hook
  • Oven
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

  • Main Bread Dough:
  • 2 cups | gluten free flour blend | see recipe for blend
  • 1 tbsp | psyllium husk powder
  • 2 tsp | instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp | sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp | salt
  • 1¼ cups | warm water 100–110°F
  • 1 tbsp | olive oil
  • 1 | egg optional | for richer texture

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, psyllium husk, yeast, salt, and sugar.
  • Add warm water, olive oil, and egg (if using). Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  • Cover and let rise for 45–60 minutes in a warm spot.
  • Transfer dough to a greased loaf pan. Smooth the top.
  • Let rise again for 30–40 minutes, until near the top edge.
  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45–50 minutes. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Remove and cool on a wire rack for 2–3 hours before slicing.

Notes

For egg-free: add ½ tsp extra psyllium + 1 tbsp oil
Cool completely before slicing to prevent a gummy texture
Bread can be frozen in slices and reheated in the toaster
Add herbs or garlic for a savory twist
Use in bread machines (see article for settings)
