Ingredients

2 1/4 cups Multi-Grain Gluten Free Flour Blend (see below)
1/4 cup amaranth flour
1/4 cup teff flour
1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk, warmed
1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons millet
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons ground flax

Directions

Grease 8x4-inch loaf pan. Line pan with parchment paper across bottom and extending up over long sides of pan; set aside.

Combine flour blend, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, xanthan gum and salt in large bowl; mix well.

Combine warmed milk, melted butter, eggs, honey and vinegar with wire whisk in another large bowl; mix well. Add flour mixture gradually to milk mixture, beating well after each addition. Add millet, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and flax; mix well.

Spoon bread dough into prepared pan. Smooth top of dough with greased fingers. Cover with lightly greased plastic food wrap. Let rise in warm place until bread reaches top of pan (30 to 45 minutes).

Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover bread; bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until bread is brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove bread from pan, keeping parchment paper on bottom of bread. Place bread with parchment paper directly onto oven rack; bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven; cool on wire rack. Remove parchment paper.

*This recipe was developed using alternative flours and other products labeled as "gluten-free". To date, the FDA and USDA have not defined the term "gluten-free." Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, the ingredients in our Process Cheese (example: American Process Cheese) and our natural dairy products (examples: natural cheese and butter) do not contain gluten.

Multi-Grain Gluten-Free Flour Blend: Stir together 2 cups cornstarch, 2 cups potato starch, 1 3/4 cups brown rice flour, 1 1/2 cups garbanzo bean flour, 1 cup sorghum flour, 1 cup tapioca flour and 1/4 cup teff flour. Use appropriate amount for recipe; store remainder in container with tight-fitting lid. Stir before using.

Recipe Comments & Reviews

What would be my best substitution for the garbanzo flour in this recipe. We cannot have bean products nor soy? More Amaranth or Teff flour? I thought possibly more brown rice flour but do not want to have the bread end up gritty. HELP! I have never had a loaf of sandwich bread turn out well and I have high hopes for this recipe.

I suggest that you use more amaranth flour or teff flour for the amount of garbanzo bean flour. You may want to use a combination of these two flours instead of just one of them.

One more thing, I omitted the 2 TBSP of Millet as for one I have millet in my flour mix and second I wasn't sure if this recipe called for whole hulled seed millet (uncooked or cooked) or Millet meal (slightly ground).

I would like to know what type of Millet the recipe calls for? I assume whole Millet (uncooked) but I don't like to assume.

The millet used in this recipe is hulled seed millet and not millet meal.

I used my own blend of flour 385 grams (Brown rice, White rice, Millet, Quinoa, Buckwheat, Almond, Teff, Amaranth / Arrowroot, Potato Starch and Sweet Rice Flours). I never go by measurements (ie cups) First I make my own whole grain AP flour of 1000 grams. 700 grams equaling the first 8 flours (150,100,100,100,100,50,50,50), then 300 grams of the last 3 Starches (150,75,75) then mixes this up and shift really well. then weight out the 385 grams for the recipe. For the Milk I use 1 cup of Hemp milk and 1/4 cup of Rice milk then added the Flax seeds this to this and blended to break up the seeds, which helps with the binding of the flour, like eggs.

This is by far the best Multi-Grain Recipe I have made.
Brenda... aside from the temp of the liquid (105-110deg), did you still add sugar/ honey etc also, be sure that the bread rises in a WARM area and is covered! I always set this on top of the stove while it is warming up and I find you MAY have to extend the rising time by DOUBLE.

That being said, I started "proofing" my yeast prior to adding (regardless of what the recipe says). Just use the liquid in the recipe (milk or water only) at a temp at least 80deg and no more than 110deg) then add your Yeast and at least 1Tbsp of your sugar/Honey from the recipe and let stand in a warm area for about 7-8 minutes, it should be bubbly and have grown in size. The liquid mixture in this recipe will need to be in 105-110 range as when it hits the other cooler ingredients you lose your yeast rising temp of 80deg. So either proof it first (which Proves that the yeast is good) or take your chance adding to the dough and is in a WARM spot for possibly an extended time. Hope this Helps.
I have tried this recipe 3 times now but am having problems getting the bread mix to rise. The yeast is good but hardly rises the dough at all. I make sure the liquid is the correct temperature to activate the yeast. We love the taste but would like it less dense. Any suggestions??

This is a very dense bread. The bread should not rise much higher than just over the edge of the bread pan. Without gluten it is difficult to get good structure without the support of the pan. By using good yeast and making sure the temperature of the water is within the degree range listed in the recipe you are doing the right things.

Can this recipe be made without the garbanzo bean flour? I can't do any legumes or their products.

I would substitute another four such as soy flour in place of the garbanzo bean flour. In this Multi-Grain Bread recipe several GF flours should be used.

I made two GF breads for my family this weekend. This recipe won hands down, even my toddler loved it and asked for it for breakfast the next morning. So, today I'm back making 2 GF loaves to get us through the week. I didn't have all of the GF breads on hand, so I used 1 cup of the LoL GF Multigrain Flour Blend, 1 cup of Sorghum Flour (not Sweet Sorghum, just Sorghum) and 3/4 cup Millet flour. Didn't have the Millet Seed or the Pepitas, so added 4 tbsp Ground Flax and 4 tbsp raw Sunflower Seeds. I will continue to tweak this recipe as I make it, but it's a terrific one even as posted.
Can this recipe be successfully made without the salt? I'm on a low-sodium diet.

Thanks

There is a balance of ingredient in baking recipes. So, you really need to keep the salt in the recipe since it balances the level of sugar.

From the Test Kitchen... we re-calculated the nutrition and it is 200 calories/slice. It is high for bread but when ingredients like the seeds are added to the bread the oil in the seeds could contribute to the higher calorie content. Ingredients such as the various flours and the xanthan gum can be purchased in natural food stores or in the natural food area of large supermarkets.

After trying lots of GF bread recipes, this is by far our family's favorite.

I haven't made this bread as yet because I cannot believe it would be 210 calories for one slice of bread. Can anyone tell me why the calorie count is sooo high? Also where would you purchase
teff flour, xanthan gum, and amaranth flour, I have never even heard of them

I've been gluten free for 4 weeks now & this is the 4th bread recipe I've made. It is by far the best!!!
5
I baked whole grain bread before becoming gluten free. I have been trying to bake good gluten free bread for about 4 years. Now I have a great recipe! Thanks

I'm so happy to find this recipe. I've really missed toast since I found out I had a gluten intolerance. This is the best bread I've tried. I haven't been able to located Teff flour yet so I substituted more sorghum and some coconut flour and increased the liquid a bit due to the coconut flour. I'm going to keep this flour blend ready so I can quickly make a loaf as needed. It makes a great chicken salad sandwich and toast. I wonder how it would bake if I added a banana to the batter. Any suggestions?

This is the best bread that I have made yet! It is a hearty bread but light and soft in texture. It can be used for sandwiches as well as for toast in the morning.
5
Once you make up the flour blend, this bread is easy to make AND it tastes GREAT!! Some of the other breads I have tried have either flopped or don't have a good flavor. This is my family's favorite.
5
The kids and I loved it. I made the recipe exactly and then an altered on for my toddler son who can't eat gluten/dairy/soy/eggs. Both turned out wonderfully. Great recipe!
5
This recipe was excellant ~ This is a very hard to find recipe. Most Gluten-free breads are heavy and don't taste all that great this flavor was wonderful ~ how important is that?!
5
This bread is really moist, and healthy with all the different grains, and seeds. Such a great recipe for people with gluten intolerance - great for sandwiches or toast. Actually very easy and quick to make - it's basically a batter bread, mix it up, let it rise once in the pan and into the oven. No kneading! Just don't let it rise above the pan before baking or it'll collapse.
