Ingredients
- Coconut flour
- Ground flaxseeds
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a non-stick spray to prevent the bread from sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of coconut flour, 1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, add 1 1/4 cups of water. Slowly pour the water into the dry mixture while stirring continuously. This will help to combine the ingredients and create a thick batter.
- Once the mixture is well combined, let it sit for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the flaxseeds to absorb water and helps to bind the bread together.
- After the resting time, give the mixture another good stir. The batter should be thick and pourable. If it seems too dry, you can add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure it rises evenly while baking.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- After the bread has cooled, slice it with a serrated knife. Enjoy your vegan coconut flour sandwich bread as a base for your favorite spreads or toppings.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Coconut flour is highly absorbent, so it's crucial to measure it accurately. Too much can lead to a dry loaf, while too little can make it too wet.
- Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to rest for about 5 minutes after mixing gives the flaxseeds time to absorb water, which helps bind the bread and improve its texture.
- Adjust Consistency: If your batter seems too thick, don’t hesitate to add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time. The goal is to achieve a thick yet pourable consistency.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your loaf pan with parchment paper not only prevents sticking but also makes it easier to remove the bread once it’s baked.
- Cool Completely: For the best slicing results, let your bread cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. This helps the texture firm up, making it easier to slice without crumbling.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your bread by adding herbs, spices, or seeds to the batter for an extra flavor boost!
- Storage: Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or freeze slices for longer storage. Just pop them in the toaster when you’re ready to enjoy!
