Ingredients:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (also known as Nigella or black cumin seeds)
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum (if not included in your flour blend)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (105°F to 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- Optional: Additional black seeds for topping
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, black sesame seeds, xanthan gum (if needed), and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yeast mixture, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and eggs.
- Using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky, which is normal for gluten-free bread dough.
- Transfer the dough into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Smooth the top with wet hands or a spatula. If desired, sprinkle additional black seeds on top.
- Cover the loaf pan with a damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the dough has risen, bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
