Method

  1. Mix the flours, potato starch, xanthan gum, yeast, sugar and 1½ tsp salt in a large bowl. Mix together the milk, oil and vinegar in a separate bowl, then add to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough comes together. Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hr.
  2. Knead in most of the seeds and walnuts. Shape into a large round - oiled hands will help. Roll the round in the remaining seeds and nuts, then lift onto a baking tray. Loosely cover again with oiled cling film and leave for 1 hr more.
  3. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bake the bread for 15 mins, then reduce oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and continue baking for 30 mins until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Leave on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel - this will help to keep the loaf soft.

    I was pleased to find a gluten free seed loaf, and i have tried this twice now, the texture is very close but its very tasty, in fact my husband who is not coeliac loved it. I have read the comments on the regular seed bread, a similar recipe, but with normal flour and those say similar comments that the bread was a little heavy, so next time i will add a little sugar to the yeast and maybe use semi skimmed milk. Having said this the bread is nicer than any gluten free bread i ahve tasted before. chrissy
