Gluten Free Oat Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200º F and then turn the oven off. This will be where you rise the bread dough.

Step 2

In a small bowl, add warm water (110º F), yeast, and honey. Stir and allow this yeast mixture to sit for 5 minutes until it is bubbly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, oats, baking powder, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Whisk to blend it together.

Step 4

Add the eggs and melted butter to the yeast mixture and whisk.

Step 5

Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix into a bread dough. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Spray an 8.5x4.5 bread loaf pan with oil and add the dough. Do not knead or work the dough. You only get one good rise with gluten free, so rise it in the bread pan.

Step 7

Loosely cover the bread pan with plastic wrap and place it in the warm oven to rise for 45 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the pan and plastic wrap. Preheat the oven to 350º F.

Step 9

Sprinkle some oats on top of the bread and gently press them in. You can also do an optional egg wash and then sprinkle the oats.

Step 10

Bake for 30-40 minutes. Baking time will vary by loaf pan size. You want the internal temperature of the bread to be 190-200º F.

Step 11

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and gently remove the bread. Place on a wire rack to cool.

Step 12

Do not slice the bread until it is fully cooled.
