Gluten-Free Quinoa Bread Recipe

Gluten-Free Quinoa Bread Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups quinoa flour
  • 1 cup sorghum flour
  • 1 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 3/4 cup sunflower seeds
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Line an 8 1/2×4 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.
  4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. 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.
  6. Invert loaf onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing.
