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 gluten-free everything bagel spice. This spice adds more flavour making the bread exceptionally tasty.

Are you looking for flax bread that goes well with your favourite jam or craving something sweet? Omit the everything bagel spice. The best part about this gluten-free bread is, the healthiness. Packed with fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins and minerals, you know this bread is nutritionally balanced.

In this bread recipe, I used flaxseed, buckwheat and arrowroot flour. 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. Transfer the batter into a loaf pan, sprinkle with the magical everything bagel spice and allow the bread to rise in a warm place.

allow extra time for the flax bread to rise…

Since 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. Once the flax bread finishes baking, you must allow for the bread to fully cool before slicing.

This healthy gluten-free flax bread is delicious, nutritious, has a wonderful texture and a perfect crust. Serve with avocado slices, tomatoes, salmon spread or with your favourite soup or stew.
