Prep time

Ingredients

  • Milk: 450ml milk, warmed to hand temperature
  • White Wine Vinegar: 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Sunflower Oil: 2 tbsp sunflower oil, plus extra for greasing
  • Potato: 85g potato starch
  • Caster Sugar: 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • Flour: 300g gluten-free brown bread flour (we used Doves Farm)
  • Walnut: 50g walnut, roughly chopped
  • Seed: 100g mixed seed (we used linseeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds)
  • Cornflour: 100g cornflour
  • Yeast: 7g sachet easy-bake dried yeast
  • Xanthan Gum: 2 tsp xanthan gum

Directions

  1. Mix the flours, potato starch, xanthan gum, yeast, sugar and 1 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Mix together the milk, oil and vinegar in a separate bowl, then add to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough comes together. Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hr.
  2. Knead in most of the seeds and walnuts. Shape into a large round - oiled hands will help. Roll the round in the remaining seeds and nuts, then lift onto a baking tray. Loosely cover again with oiled cling film and leave for 1 hr more.
  3. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bake the bread for 15 mins, then reduce oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and continue baking for 30 mins until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Leave on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel - this will help to keep the loaf soft.
