Gluten Free Bread-Maker Wholemeal Bread (with Oats)

Step 1

Accurately weigh and mix together all the dry ingredients (except the yeast) and set aside. TIP : weigh into an airtight container and shake vigorously.

Step 2

Put the pot/sachet of yeast next to the mixed dry ingredients so that it is not forgotten.

Step 3

Weigh all the wet ingredients into a large bowl and whisk through to combine with a hand whisk.

Step 4

Prepare the bread-maker, making sure the paddle is in place.

Step 5

Transfer the wet ingredients to the bread-maker. (scrape the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula to make sure all ingredients are fully transferred).

Step 6

Add the yeast to the dry ingredients and give a quick mix through.

Step 7

Add the dry ingredients to the bread-maker bowl on top of the wet ingredients.

Step 8

Set the bread-maker to GF setting (I use 'medium crust') and press 'start'. (See NOTES re optional removing of paddle part-way through cycle).

Step 9

Enjoy a cup of tea and read a magazine while your bread bakes, enjoying the smell of freshly yeast-baked loaf.

Step 10

Once baked, remove from the bread-maker and carefully slide/jiggle out sideways to avoid squashing the top. Cool on a wire rack.

Step 11

Carefully remove the paddle (if stuck inside) once cool.
