Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup oat flour - coarsely ground
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pour the almond milk and apple cider vinegar into a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients. If you are making your own oat flour  like me, then blend your rolled oats until they resemble a very coarse flour.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Once you add the milk to the dry ingredients, we want to get the loaf into the oven as quickly as possible. So give it a stir, making sure all the flour is incorporated. Then use your hands to knead into a ball, while still in the bowl. The dough will be very wet.
  • Transfer the ball onto your parchment lined baking sheet. Then using a sharp knife, cut a cross on top, about half an inch deep. This allows the dough to expand and cook throughly.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees, then reduce the oven temperature to 400 and cook for another 30 minutes. Do not open the oven during the baking process.
  • Once the loaf is done baking, let it rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, before moving it to a cooling rack. Give it another 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with butter, jam, honey, olive oil, nut butters, or hummus. This bread is ideal as toast or dunking in your favorite soup.
  • Wrap any leftovers tightly to preserve freshness, and enjoy the next day.
