Gluten-Free Almond Flaxseed Bread

There’s something about a warm, toasty slice of bread that just hits the spot, whether it’s paired with your hearty breakfast or dipped into a steaming bowl of vegetable soup. However, for those of us with a gluten intolerance, these simple pleasures can sometimes bring discomfort, fatigue, and bloating.

But here’s the silver lining – why not bake your very own gluten-free bread? It’s a journey I embarked on, and it led me to a fantastic recipe by Jennifer McGruther that yielded bread that’s not just gluten-free but deliciously nutty and wholesome.

  3. Stir it all together until you have a perfectly blended mixture.
  4. Transfer this mixture to a bread bin lined with baking paper – your future loaf’s cozy home.
  5. Preheat your oven to 175°C (about 345°F) and bake your bread for approximately 45 minutes. Be sure to check the center to ensure it’s baked to perfection.
