This was a recipe I posted last year and recently up-dated on my phone, but in doing so, seem to have inadvertently deleted!! So, here it is again. Despite my dabbles with other gluten and grain-free bread recipes, it’s the one I revert to as my ‘go to’ gluten free or grain-free loaf (with pseudo grains). I don’t add any sweetener, but do add oregano and yeast flakes for extra flavour. I love it. In fact, the Coeliacs in the household don’t even get a sniff in!!
Add and mill 1 minute / speed 9:
- 80g brown rice or jowar seeds (or 80g buckwheat)
- 80g millet (or 80g almonds)
- 50g buckwheat (or 50g linseeds) {or quinoa – toasted in a cast iron pan first to release the saponins and give an almost popcorny flavour}
- 15g psyllium husks – available from ethnic supermarkets or health food stores (or use xanthan gum in next step)
Add and sift 6 seconds / speed 6:
- 60g potato starch
- 30g tapioca starch/flour
- 2 tsp oregano, dried (opt)
- 1 tsp xanthan gum (if not using psyllium)
- 1 tbs yeast flakes (opt)
- 1 tsp salt
Set aside in a separate bowl for a moment
Add to the bowl and heat 3 minutes / 37 degs / speed 2:
For the last minute, sprinkle in through the lid hole:
- 1.5 tsp dried yeast (for yeast free, try 1 tsp bicarb of soda and 1 tsp citric acid or simply 2 tsp bicarb)
Add and mix 5 seconds / speed 6, scraping and repeating if necessary:
Once it’s formed a bit of a battery dough, set to knead for 1 minute.
Pour the batter into a square or small baking tin and put in a warm place for half an hour (dehydrator at 40 degs works really well)
Once nicely risen, pop into the oven for 40 minutes / 180 degs fan forced.
Cool on a baking rack and slice when cool. Enjoy a few pieces, then freeze the rest. Toasts up lovely.
Notes:
I have even made this recipe as a ‘quick sourdough’, omitting the yeast and using kefir water instead of tap water. I left it to rise in a warm cupboard overnight and did a little ‘whoop whoop’ to see that it had risen by morning; not quite double, but still a decent size! It was nice bread, but I found it a tad sweet for my liking, so haven’t rushed out to test again.
I use this Silverwood bread tin, which is a 1/2 pound, 225g size. It’s perfect for this recipe

I'm Mum to two beautiful artistic and creative children and wife to Financial Adviser Dan. I might as well give him a plug, as he's very passionate about helping people get their retirement on track and works very hard, often into the wee hours.
Anyway, moving on ... We left Melbourne in 2010 to relocate to England. Dan and the kids are all Aussie born, whilst I'm from old Blighty. Aside from living in Germany for 6 months back in the 80s to polish up my German, I lived in Australia for 14 years all up; a reasonable chunk of my life, so yes, I do miss many aspects ... big, clean, uncluttered streets, good coffee, the health and dental service, some dear friends and rellies, barbecues in parks, reasonably priced council rates and generally the positive Aussie attitude of giving someone a 'fair go'. I don't miss the stinky and relentless 40-45degree days in summer, poor TV or AFL talk. Yawn yawn. Britain has such rich heritage and history, fabulous architecture and beautiful countryside ... we just need to appreciate it more ... a bit more sunshine wouldn't go amiss either!!!!
Before we left Australia in 2010 to embark on a new chapter in our lives, my sister-in-law very very generously gifted to us, what now ranks as the best present ever: A Thermomix! "What's this?", you may ask ... "never heard of it" ... well, in short, it's a unique power blender / food processor, which weighs, cooks and steams. Let me tell you, it's a mighty fine piece of German engineering and we have alot of quality time together. "What does it do that's so special?", you might ask. Well, what doesn't it do? It weighs, cooks, chops, crushes, grinds, mills, grates, emulsifies, whips, mixes, blends, kneads, simmers and steams. Did I miss anything? Basically, it's the equivalent of about 10 appliances in your kitchen. To a certain extent, it even washes itself - but you still need your dishwasher!
It's perfect for people with special dietary needs, eg Coeliac Disease (which Dan has) or food allergies; busy mums; busy career people; chefs; foodies who love experimenting with their own flavours; foodies who love making their own spices/curry paste, soup, butter, jam, mayonnaise etc and others who enjoy the convenience and speed, or who will otherwise not bother cooking healthily.
Thermomix is an extremely popular member of many households in Australia, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Italy and Spain, perhaps not quite so well-known in Britain, but it's getting there ...
