Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 190 C. + One x 2lb(900g) loaf tin, lined with a parchment loaf tin liner.

  • Whisk whole egg, buttermilk, honey and oil together in a jug. Make a well in the flours - add almost all of the liquid. Stir dough with your hand in a circular movement; bring the excess flour from the outside of the bowl to the centre until all the flour is incorporated. Add whisked egg white and gently mix in to dough. Add more milk if necessary. (This mixture is quite wet).

  • Allow to cool on a wire rack.

Maggie's Tips

  • Quality of gluten free flours can vary a lot between brands. The liquid ratio for this bread is for whole brown rice flour. Check your labels and use less liquid if using white flour.
  • This bread will stay fresh for a few days and it also freezes really well.
  • Dairy free option use a combination of soya yoghurt and soya milk.
