Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Ensure it's a certified gluten-free blend.
  • 1 cup water (warm) Use warm water to activate the flaxseed.
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed Can substitute with chia seeds if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (or maple syrup) Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust based on preference.
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Adds a slight tang to the flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and warm water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, mixing well to blend.
  4. Pour the thickened flaxseed mixture and apple cider vinegar into the dry mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until it’s golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and serve as desired.

Notes

Store any leftover gluten-free vegan bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, freeze slices wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months. Reheat by toasting for best results.
