There is nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread. I would consider it my favourite aroma. My mums homemade bread wafting through the house is still enough to send my tastebuds into a ridiculous frenzy. This freshly baked gluten free bread is quite easy to bake and holds its texture well for a gluten free thanks to the inclusion of psyllium husks.

nutritional information for freshly baked gluten free bread
- The combination of flours in this bread provides sustainable complex carbohydrates. Many gluten free breads are made from refined white rice flours that are devoid of any quality nutrition.
- You could use egg replacer instead of eggs if needed. You could also use a combination of flaxseeds and water.
- Treat this bread as a base recipe and add in extra elements for crunch and texture. Try sunflower seeds, poppy seeds and pepitas or grated orange zest, dried figs and walnuts. The combinations are endless!

Hi Jess, I’d love to try this recipe. Just wondering where you got your rapid yeast from? I understand that’s different to the instant yeast in the supermarket?
Hi Rachael. You can use instant yeast sachets from the supermarket. They will work just as well in this bread. Hope you enjoy it!
Hey Jess,
Just wondering could I use more of another flour to replace the buckwheat four? p.s loved your Veg Sheppard’s pie.
Hi Ally. Yes, you could use sorghum flour or millet flour, or even brown rice flour. Glad to hear that you loved the shephard’s pie!
Hey Jessica, you have so many great recipes! I was wondering how I could vary this so it can be done without yeast? Thanks!
Thanks Steph! For yeast free, just leave out the yeast and add 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon bicarb soda. 😉
Thanks jess! Made it this morning and love it! X
Hi Jess, I’m just wondering because im not GF but love your recipes if the flours used could be substituted for a combination of spelt and wholemeal SF…and maybe chickpea flour, therefore omitting guar gum?
Thanks heaps,
Adele x
Hi Adele. Yes, definitely you can use alternative flours such as wholemeal or spelt. You won’t need the guar gum if using these flours, as the guar gum is more for holding gluten free flours together. Enjoy!
Hi Jess, thinking to make this bread & saw below on some comments using millet flour. Is millet flour gf?
Hi Shirely. Yes, millet four is definitely gf. 🙂
Hi Jess this looks like a lovely gluten free bread to make! I’m not strictly gluten free but following a low fodmap diet. I was wondering if the soy flour (unsure if high fodmap) can be replaced with another gluten free/low fodmap flour?
Hi Melanie. You could use potato flour instead of soy flour, it would have the same textural component. Let me know how you go!
