Servings: persons

2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup water
1 cup arrowroot
1 cup millet flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/2 brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/3 cup flax meal
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups room temperature filtered water
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, for sprinkling

1
Soak the chia seeds in the 1/2 cup water for at least 15 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-by-4-by-4-inch loaf pan and dust with brown rice flour.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the arrowroot, millet flour, quinoa flour, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, flax meal, salt, and xanthan gum.
4
In a separate large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), dissolve the yeast in the room temperature water.
5
Add the olive oil and maple syrup.
6
Just as the yeast begins to foam and feed on the maple syrup, about 3 minutes, add the combined dry ingredients and the chia seeds with their soaking liquid.
7
Mix until you have achieved a soft dough.
8
This will not take long.
9
A stand mixer with a paddle attachment works well, but so will an old-fashioned wooden spoon and a tireless arm.
10
Once your dough is formed, use a spatula (0 guide and pour the batter-like dough into the prepared loaf pan.
11
Smooth the surface so that it is even and attractive.
12
Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and score with one line that runs the length of the dough, just off center.
13
Place in the hot oven.
14
Once the oven door is closed, decrease the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
15
Decrease the temperature to 300 degrees F and bake for an additional 25 minutes, until golden brown and crusty.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
