Rustic gluten-free psyllium bread
A crackly crust outside, a soft and springy crumb inside.
Ingredients
- 8 g active dry yeast
- 20 g (¾ oz) sugar — to activate the yeast
- 150 g (5½ oz) warm water — for the yeast
- 240 g (8½ oz) cold water — for the psyllium gel
- 20 g (¾ oz) psyllium husk flakes — if you use psyllium powder, use only 75% of this amount
- 130 g (4½ oz) buckwheat flour
- 100 g (3½ oz) potato starch
- 90 g (3¼ oz) very fine brown rice flour — save a little extra for sprinkling
- 10 g salt
- 12 g apple cider vinegar
Method
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in 150 g of warm water. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, until a layer of foam forms on top; if nothing happens, the yeast is no longer active and you'll need to start over with fresh yeast.
- In a separate bowl, mix the psyllium with the 240 g of cold water and stir well for a few seconds. It quickly turns into a thick gel — make it right before you need it so it doesn't lose its consistency.
The full method (13 steps), Rico's tip, the Thermomix® or similar version, the variations and storage are in the ebook “Thermomix® & Co.”. The English edition is coming soon.
