Wow! Is all you'll have to say when you cut into this gut friendly loaf of bread. This bread is soft, spongey, and has those air bubbles throughout that you would usually only achieve from a regular yeast & gluten filled loaf. So throw out your rock hard gluten free bread, go grab the ingredients to make this and never go without a good loaf again.
Up until this point, I was someone that seldom ate bread. Sure, I'd indulge in a gluten free slice of avocado toast on the weekends but most grains free breads out there are dense and filled with almond meal which I'm now trying to avoid due to my latest gut test results (thats for another blog post).
I used Tigernut Flour as the base and ground flax seeds to meat it up. Despite the name, Tigernut is actually a tuber and it's fast become my favorite flour to bake with. I use it 1:1 when baking, its pretty mild in taste, if anything it just has a slightly nutty flavor.
What helps this bread retain it's moisture is the addition of Brandless coconut oil and tahini. Brandless tahini is just ground sesame seeds and honestly so delicious! I feel adds a beautiful yet subtle taste to this bread, and the best bit is Brandless sell it (organic) for only $3!
