Gluten-Free Quinoa Bread image

This is the first gluten-free bread I've made that I've been truly happy with. It's very reminiscent of a whole wheat bread - nutty and dense, yet gluten-free!

Time 2h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons agave syrup
2 cups warm water
2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups quinoa flour
1 cup sorghum flour
1 cup tapioca starch
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon xanthan gum
¾ cup sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk agave syrup into warm water in a small bowl; add yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Whisk in eggs and oil.
  • Combine quinoa flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, salt, and xanthan gum in the bowl of a stand mixer. With the mixer running on low speed, pour in yeast mixture. Mix until dough is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sunflower seeds; mix until incorporated.
  • Line an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper; pour in dough. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free space, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake loaf in the preheated oven until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 210 degrees F (99 degrees C), 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Invert loaf onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing.

This quinoa bread is incredibly moist and flavorful. The texture is perfect, with a slightly crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.
