Healthy Gluten-Free Flax Bread

Wait until you try this most delicious Gluten-Free Healthy Flax Bread. The crust is slightly crispy, and the inside is soft and moist. In addition, I topped the bread with a flavourful everything bagel spice. This spice adds more flavour making the bread exceptional. If you want to serve the bread with jam or something sweet, omit the everything bagel spice. The best part about this gluten-free bread is, the fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins and minerals. In this bread recipe, I used flaxseed, buckwheat and arrowroot. All three flours are nutritionally packed. Did you know that ground flaxseed is healthier than whole flaxseed? As per the Mayo clinic, ground flaxseed is easier to digest. Whole flaxseed may pass through your intestine undigested, which means you won’t get all the benefits.

Finally, a flax bread with health benefits!

The recipe is pretty straight forward. First, you proof the yeast. This is a process of first dissolving the yeast in warm water, a necessary hydration step when using active dry yeast in recipes. While the yeast is proofing, combine the dry ingredients. Then whisk together wet ingredients, including the yeast. Add to dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Then, transfer into a loaf pan, sprinkle with the magical everything bagel spice and allow the bread to rise in a warm place. Because I am using flax and buckwheat flour in this recipe, the dough takes a little longer to rise. But, it is well worth the wait. Now all you do is bake and cool before slicing. This bread is delicious, nutritious, has a wonderful texture and a perfect crust. Serve with slices of avocado, tomatoes, salmon spread or with your favourite soup or stew. If you are searching for a healthier bread recipe, this gluten-free flax bread will become a staple in your home.
