Before you start, note that this is NOT a fluffy white gluten-free bread recipe. The texture is rich and dense, with a thick crust like artisan bread. The crumb has a strong buckwheat earthy flavor.
In a small mixing bowl, stir psyllium husk and lukewarm water. Set aside until a thick gel forms.
In another small bowl, add dried yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup of water. Set aside until the yeast blooms.
In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients: buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine evenly.
Add the 3/4 cup water, apple cider vinegar, activated yeast, and psyllium get.
Start stirring with a spoon - or use the dough hook of a stand mixer - then knead by hand to incorporate all ingredients together. If too sticky, sprinkle some extra tapioca flour. Don't over-knead, just bring the ingredients together. It's ok if the dough is slightly sticky too.
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan. Seal the pan with plastic wrap and add a warm towel on top. I wet a kitchen towel and microwave it for 1 minute, so it gets very hot. Set the bread aside until it almost doubles in size which takes about 2-3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil paper with olive oil. Set aside.
Remove the towel and plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife to draw some crosses on top of the bread.
Bake in the center rack of the oven for 30 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Cool down on a wire rack for a few hours before slicing.
Serve as breakfast bread with peanut butter, jam, or as sandwich bread.
Storage
