Gluten Free Bread: Fruit Loaf

I had such a massive response to my gluten free bread recipe a few weeks ago that I thought I'd show you this week how I turn it into fruit bread. It's really yummy fresh with butter or dairy free spread, and great toasted as well, even when it's been frozen. It's a perfect snack or super quick brekkie on a cold morning!

If you do use eggs when you make this like I normally do now, just toss in a couple of tablespoons of chia seeds with the dry ingredients to boost the nutrients a bit! And.... if you're feeling a bit naughty you could swap the sultanas for choc chips - I likeEnjoy Life Mini Chips. My kids love this for an occasional afternoon tea treat!!

Gluten Free Bread Fruit Loaf - Happy Tummies

Gluten Free Bread Recipe: Fruit Loaf

Gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, egg free

Ingredients:

400mls filtered water
1/3 cup (75g) olive oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 tbps chia seeds soaked for 5 minutes in 180mls filtered water (you can replace the chia egg with 3 eggs if you prefer)
2 tsps salt
2 cups (280g) sorghum flour
1½ cups (185g) tapioca starch or arrowroot starch
1 cup medium GF flour (white rice flour 130g, quinoa flour 120g, millet flour 140g, besan flour 120g, oat flour 140g - oats not GF)
1/3 cup (50g) coconut sugar (rapadura or sugar)
3 tsps xanthan gum or guar gum
3 tsps yeast
1 cup (160g) of organic sultanas (or a mix of dried fruit, preservative free)
2 tbsps of either Nutra Organics Berry Choc Powder or C Berry Blast Powder (optional)
2 tsps ground cinnamon
2 tsps ground mixed spice

Method:

Heat oven to 50°C (if you'll need to rise bread in oven)
Lightly grease bread tin - mine is internal size 23cm x 10cm x 10cm
Put all wet ingredients into a bowl, then salt, followed by dry ingredients (except sultanas) and lastly yeast on top
Use an electric mixer or Thermomix to combine for a short time until well mixed - dough will be quite thick
Add in the sultanas and mix through gently (on reverse if using a Thermomix)
Place dough into prepared bread tin, smooth the top with a spatula and cover loosely
Pop bread into warm oven or in a warm spot outside for about 45 minutes or until risen
Turn oven temperature up to 180°C and bake for 50 minutes. If you're putting bread into a cold oven set temperature to 180°C and cook for 55 minutes
Remove from oven, tip out of bread tin and place on a wire rack to cool
Bread is best eaten fresh or you can freeze left overs and toast

Enjoy!! Lisa x
