Key Ingredients for Gluten-Free Vegan Bread

To whip up this delightful bread, gather the following ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water (warm)
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon sugar (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Prep Flax Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and warm water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

What to Serve Gluten-Free Vegan Bread With

Gluten-free vegan bread pairs wonderfully with various toppings and sides. Consider spreading some creamy avocado and a sprinkle of salt for a nutritious breakfast. It also works delightfully well with homemade hummus and a fresh salad for lunch. If you’re planning a cozy dinner, serve slices alongside vegetable soup or a hearty chili. The options are endless, and each pairing brings out the best in this versatile bread!

Top Tips for Perfecting Gluten-Free Vegan Bread

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re out of flaxseed, you can substitute it with chia seeds, as they work similarly in binding the dough.
• Adjusting Consistency: If the dough feels too dry, don’t hesitate to add a bit more warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a smooth consistency.
• Test for Doneness: Always check your bread with a toothpick; if it comes out wet, keep baking for a few more minutes.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store any leftover gluten-free vegan bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, you can freeze slices wrapped in plastic wrap or a zip-lock bag for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply pop them in a toaster for a quick and easy reheat that keeps them deliciously soft and warm!
