Servings: 5
Calories: 429kcal

Ingredients

  • cups (200 g) brown rice flour
  • 1 cup (120 g) sorghum flour
  • ¾ cup (75 g) oat flour
  • ½ cup (64 g) tapioca starch
  • teaspoons (4.5 g) xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) kosher or fine sea salt
  • 2 cups (475 mL) buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) blackstrap molasses

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until combined.
  • Whisk the buttermilk and molasses together in a separate bowl. Gradually add the liquid to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a sticky dough.
  • Using floured hands, gently knead the dough into a ball. Place the dough on top of the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a serrated knife to score a cross in the center of the dough.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool before slicing.

    I have a Thyroid problem. a nasty Hashimoto’s. I ate one little piece of rye bread. 2 hours later my stomach was screaming. The pain was so bad I started to cry. It happened again, that’s when I knew what was causing it. I am very careful of what I eat now. I love perogy’s, is there a recipe for the dough?

      So sorry to hear that, but we do have a great Gluten-free Pierogies recipe that includes the dough. https://glutenfreeandmore.com/blog/2019/05/gluten-free-pierogies-recipe.html

    Could you use an all-purpose gluten-free flour with xantham gum (such as Pillsbury)?

      For this recipe I would still with only the xanthan gum and would not add any more flour in it.
