Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 3 large organic eggs, room temperature
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup gluten-free chia seeds, ground to flour
• 1 cup almond meal flour
• ½ cup potato starch
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ¾ cup millet flour
• 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
• 6 teaspoons instant yeast

Preparations

1. The journey begins with the harmonious blending of wet ingredients—warm water, room temperature organic eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk them together, allowing their individual essences to merge and create a cohesive ensemble.
2. Pour this ensemble of wet ingredients into the bread maker pan, setting the stage for the forthcoming narrative.
3. Now, the dry ensemble steps onto the stage—gluten-free chia seeds ground to flour, almond meal flour, potato starch, coconut flour, millet flour, xanthan gum, salt, sugar, and nonfat dry milk. Whisk them together, creating a textured symphony of flavors and textures.
4. This dry ensemble is gently placed atop the wet narrative, forming layers of taste and character that will soon meld into a unified whole.
5. Within the heart of the dry ensemble, a well is carved—an intimate space for the instant yeast to shine and weave its magic.
6. As the stage is set, the Whole Wheat cycle is chosen, with a light crust color. With a press of the Start button, the transformation begins, guided by the bread maker’s meticulous choreography.
7. With the cycle progressing, the yeast activates, infusing the dough with its signature aroma and causing it to rise.
8. As the curtain nears its fall, the bread maker emits a satisfying hum, signaling the completion of the performance. The bread, now transformed, stands as a testament to the alchemy of grain-free baking.
9. Transferred to a cooling rack, the bread is left to bask in its glory, cooling gently as its essence solidifies.
