You don’t need a fancy bread making machine to make great gluten free bread. The following recipe takes no more than 5 minutes preparation time and up to 30 minutes baking. I have people who eat normal bread lining up for a slice of this bread!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 x 500gm sachet Laucke Easy Bakers Special White Instant Oven Bread Mix (there are 2 x 500gm        sachets inside each packet for around $5.50).

• 380ml water (I add 400ml because I also add chia and flax seeds to the mix).

• Anything you fancy (I put in 1 – 2 large tablespoons of chia and flax seeds to add some omega 3, I        also add some sunflower seeds as well. Just a small sprinkle).

DIRECTIONS:

1. Pour water into mixing bowl.
2. Add sachet of bread mix.
3. Add whatever ingredients you wish to add eg flax/chia seeds/sunflower seeds.
4. Beat for a couple of minutes.
5. Line your desired pan (eg, loaf, large oven dish for foccaccia style) with baking paper.
6. Add the mix.
7. You can let it sit in a warm place for 20 minutes and then bake it, or just put it straight into the oven         and bake for around 20 – 30 minutes depending on your chosen pan (eg, if you choose a wide               baking tray then 20 – 25 minutes is all you need, and if you choose a deeper dish, such as a bread       tin, it may take 30 minutes.
8. Check to see if a metal skewer comes out cleanly from the middle if you are unsure.
9. Remove from baking paper and cool on a wire rack.

Note: You will find this bread mix in the Naytura section of Woolworths or the Health Food section of Coles for around $5.50.
