Gluten-free bread with ingredients from your pantry
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rice flour (you can make this by grinding rice in a blender)
- 1 cup fine oat flakes (or oats processed into flour)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional, to help with rising)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a small loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the rice flour, oats, salt, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, oil, and honey (if using). Mix well.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until you obtain a homogeneous batter. The consistency should be similar to a dense cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the greased pan.
- Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
- Slice and serve.
Preparation Time:
- Preparation: 15 minutes
- Baking: 40-45 minutes
Tips:
- If the batter is too dry, add a bit more milk.
- For a lighter texture, you can add 1/4 cup cornstarch to the flour mixture.
- This bread is great toasted and can be served with butter, jam, or whatever you prefer.
