Ingredients:
Name | Metric | US | TIP | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Oat Flour | 300 gr | 3 cups | You can use rolled oats to make oat flour at home. Blend the oats until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender or food processor. If you want a very smooth flour, you can sift the ground oats through a fine mesh sieve to remove any larger pieces that didn't grind finely enough. | |
Psyllium Husk | 26 gr | 1/3 cup | Psyllium husk and psyllium husk powder are the same product. The only difference is that one has been run through a grinder of some sort to turn it into a powder! Psyllium husk powder is finer, so it has more surface area to help absorb water. You generally need less of it than whole psyllium husk. | |
Water | 360 ml | 1 1/4 cups | You might need a little bit more water 1 or 2 tablespoon if the batter too dry. | |
Baking powder | 15 gr | 2 tsp | You can sub it with 6gr / 1 tsp Baking Soda + 1 tbsp Vinegar/Lemon Juice | |
Sea salt | 6 gr | 1 tsp |
Optional Ingredients :
30 gr / 2 tbsp Mixed Seeds (Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Hulled Hemp Seeds) | |
2 tbsp / 10 gr Rolled Oats as a topping |
Equipment:
Hand Mixer / Stand Mixer fitted with a dough hook | |
Loaf pan 8.5in x 4.5in / 21.5cm x 11.5cm |
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 395°F ( 200°C ).
- In a large bowl, sift the Oat Flour (3 cups), Baking Powder ( 2 tsp ), and Salt ( 3 gr ). It ensures that the salt and baking powder are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Psyllium Husk (⅓ cup ) with Water (1 ¼ cup). Immediately begin stirring vigorously with a spoon. It’s important to mix it well and quickly to prevent clumping. Let this mixture sit for 15-30 seconds.
- Add the Psyllium Husk Gel to the dry ingredients. Knead by hand, until a smooth dough forms and starts coming away from the bowl (about 5 minutes). If the dough is too dry add more water (1-2 tbsp) until all the flour are incorporated. Now mix in seeds until equally distributed (if using). It's okay if the dough appears thick and sticky a little bit.
- Shape it as desired and transfer the bread into a prepared loaf pan or baking tray. Then brush the top of the loaf with water and sprinkle it with rolled oats.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the oat and psyllium husk bread and serve it with your favorite toppings or enjoy as is!
