Ingredients

  • 150 g (1 ¼ cup) ground almonds (almond meal) *
  • 150 g (1 ¼ cup) gluten-free flour blend (or sub plain flour if not gluten-free)
  • 2 heaped teaspoons baking powder (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
  • ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)

  • Place the ground almonds, gluten-free flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl and mix well.

  • Add the milk and vinegar and mix again.

  • Transfer the mixture to a loaf tin (I used a one-pound loaf tin) lined with greased baking paper.

  • Sprinkle over mixed seeds to decorate, if desired.

  • Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Notes

*You can alternatively usealmond flour.

**The vinegar is crucial as its acidity reacts with the alkali bicarbonate of soda. If you don't have vinegar you can substitute it with lemon juice.

  • If you’ve kept your bread in the oven for the right amount of time and it’s still not done in the centre and the outside is becoming hard/burnt, then I would recommend covering it with a piece of baking paper to prevent the outside from becoming burnt, and and continuing to bake it until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
  • Make sure to leave the bread to cool down completely on acooling rackbefore packing it away to store because otherwise the steam from the warm bread will get trapped and you’ll end up with soggy bread, which nobody wants!
  • To freeze, you can just slice it up and put the whole thing in the freezer. Then when you want to eat it you can just pop the slices of bread in the toaster straight from frozen.

      Hello - unfortunately you can't replace the gluten-free flour with almond flour, but you can replace it with 140g white rice flour and 10g tapioca flour! But yes, you can replace the plant-based milk with water. Hope that helps!
