  • Cook Time: 30 mins
  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: ~14 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tbsp lard (or 4 tbsp lard and 2 tbsp coconut oil)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp sugar (or agave syrup)
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 3 1/2 tsp yeast
  • 1 3/4 cup arrowroot starch
  • 1 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/2 cup potato starch
  • 1 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp xantham gum
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • Agave syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. Melt your lard (or coconut oil and lard) and set aside to cool.
  2. Proof your yeast by first dissolving the sugar in the water in a mixing bowl and then add the yeast. Set aside for about 5 minutes. The yeast should get puffy and float on the surface of the water.
  3. Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl until uniform.
  4. Slowly fold or whisk ~ 1 cup of dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
  5. Add the lard (/lard and coconut mix) to the mixing bowl, and whisk until uniform.
  6. Continue adding dry ingredients to the dough, and mix/knead with your hands, until you have a soft, but stand-alone ball of dough in the bowl. Avoid over-mixing the dough. You can also put your bowl in your stand mixer at this point, and mix the rest of the dry ingredients at medium speed. You may have ~ 1/2 cup of flour mix left in the bowl. This is fine.
  7. Sprinkle some of the leftover bread flour on a flat surface, and empty the dough onto it. Sprinkle more flour on top of the dough, and very quickly roll the dough out into a ~ 11″ x 9″ rectangle. You may want to run a bench/bowl scraper or spatula under the dough a few times to make sure it’s not stuck to the surface.
  8. Fold the short ends of the dough toward the centre, making sure the two ends touch. Carefully roll the dough along the long edge until you have a round loaf shape.
  9. Place dough in a greased loaf pan.
  10. Cover and let rise for about an hour or two, or until you notice it’s not rising any more. It likely won’t double in size.
  11. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  12. Right before you put your bread in the oven, mix about 1/2 tsp of agave syrup with 1 tsp of water and brush it on top of the bread. This gives the bread it’s golden colour on top!
  13. Bake for 30 mins or until the bottom of the bread is golden and has a hollow sound when tapped.
