It’s been 3.5 years since I have had a decent gluten-free bread. Heaps and Heaps of trial and error, failed over 10 times and then, one fine day-this bread came to life. I can’t tell you how happy I was when I made this. Tastes almost like a good sourdough bread.
This has no gum whatsoever. But contains yeast. Just to give that real bread’y’ feel. Toast it with some coconut oil, it tastes amazing. Best part of all, it stays good for a week, when refrigerated. I had this pretty much every single day for breakfast-with homemade banana butter, chia jam and even tofu haloumi cheese. You guys ready for this?
You need:
- 2 and 1/2 cups very warm water, but not hot
- 2 and 1/2 tsp yeast (1 pack)
- 1 tsp agave/maple syrup
- 1/3 cup ground chia
- 1/3 cup psyllium husk
- 1 cup millet flour
- 1 cup GF oat flour
- 1/2 cup sweet rice/glutinous rice flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca/arrowroot flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Method:
- To heat water for yeast, make sure it is warm. Hot water would kill the yeast. [We’re vegan :P] When water is on heat, just make sure you see tiny bubbles appear at the bottom of the pan. Remove off heat, try to dip your finger in. You should be able to resist the heat
- Add yeast and the sweetener of your choice, mix them well. Let it sit for 10 mins.
- While it is resting, mix all the flours together (millet,oats,sweet rice and tapioca)
- After the 10 minute mark, add the olive oil, ground chia, psyllium husk to the frothy yeast mixture and stir them. Let it sit for 3 minutes
- Now, time to add wet mixture to the dry. Knead until it forms a dough. Use some extra millet flour to dust the dough and knead.
- Let it sit for an hour until it doubles in size.
- Preheat oven to 170 C/350 F. Punch it to shape.
- Transfer to a bread tin and bake until golden brown and firm to touch on the top
- Let it to cool before you slice them.
- They taste great when they are fresh, but try to dry out as soon as it gets to normal temperature. When you toast them on a pan with a bit of coconut oil, they go back to their normal fresh state.

Vegan bread looks moist and perfect Charu:-)
Hello Charanya,
I’m Jayranee from Mauritius, I would very much like to try the bread recipe. I’m vegetarian since childhood and aiming to turn vegan. The only thing that was holding me is my craving for cheese, but I discovered your blog and recipes and will soon try the cheese. Now the problem is: some of the ingredients you use for the bread are unknown and unavailable in Mauritius. Could you help me by giving details about them and if there could be any other substitutes. Thank you. J
Hey Jayranee,
You can buy all the ingredients off amazon. I have not tried any replacements for the ingredients.
good luck going vegan. It’s one of the best things you could do to yourself and the planet.
Happy to help <3
