It is hard to find gluten free bread that tastes great in store, plus they usually have a very long ingredient list filled with things I would rather not consume on a day to day basis. When it comes to home baked bread, it can still be hard to get good results.
Typically, gluten free bread contains some kind of gum to help the dough together. These gums can be very irritating to the gut, and I personally prefer not to use them. Without the gluten something needs to be added specifically to help with binding. I prefer to use eggs.
As for flours, oat flour is always my go to. This recipes uses oat flour only.
Why I Bake With Oat Flour
Oat flour is my go to gluten free flour for many reasons. I find it is extremely versatile and bakes up much better than most other gluten free flours.
Store bought gluten free flour blends are made to act as closely to regular all purpose flour as possible. This takes blending several different flours, starches, and usually some sort of gum. Personally, there is a lot I don’t love about them and I try to avoid gums. They often contain ingredients that I am not a fan of, they are expensive, and it’s hard to find one that is organic.
Oat flour is easy to make at home in under a minute. I always have oats on hand, so knowing that I can throw them into a high speed blender and have flour almost instantly is a game changer when it comes to gluten free baking.
There always seems to be some confusion on whether or not oats are gluten free. Naturally, oats are gluten free, however they are typically processed in the same facility as wheat. It is important to buy certified gluten free oats if you are celiac.
Tips For Making Gluten Free Oat Flour Bread
- This bread will be more of a batter consistency than a dough. Technically this is considered a quick bread. The batter will be poured into your loaf pan instead of being formed into a loaf.
- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper. This will make it much easier to transfer the baked loaf out of the pan. If you choose not to, grease your loaf pan well and
- Allow the bread to cool as long as possible before slicing. The longer you can wait the better, as it will hold together much better if it cools completely before slicing. I like to bake a loaf in the evening so it can cool overnight.
- If you would like to slice and use the gluten free bread right away before it cools, you can add 1/2 tsp of ground psyllium husk to the batter so it holds together well. I only use this occasionally as psyllium husk, like gums, can be irritating to the gut. This is a better choice than gums for us.
Can I Make Substitutions?
Because this recipe is gluten free and it uses oat flour only, there aren’t a whole lot of substitutions to be made. For a consistent result, I highly recommend sticking to the original recipe.
- Use organic cane sugar or pure maple syrup in place of the honey.
- Substitute 1 teaspoon of baking soda for the baking powder.
- Use any milk – dairy or non-dairy.
