Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (280g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1/4 cup (30g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) millet flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your blend contains it)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raisins or currants
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, millet flour, xanthan gum (if using), baking soda, and salt. Stir in the raisins until they’re evenly coated.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk the egg, buttermilk, and honey together until well combined.
  • Bring the Dough Together: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the well. Using a fork or a spatula, gently stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Don’t overmix!
  • Shape and Score: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it just 3-4 times to bring it into a round loaf shape. Place it on your prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a deep ‘X’ on the top.
  • Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
