The bread is not complicated but it does take time as there is at least 2 hours of proofing and 70 minutes of cooking. You will need a warm spot in the house for proofing.

Ingredients

14g yeast
460ml cold water
15g golden syrup
1 ½ tsp iodized salt
10g canola oil (or suitable oil)
1 egg white
70g brown rice flour
70g quinoa flakes
130g teff flour
40g corn or potato starch
20g psyllium husks

METHOD

In a large bowl, stir together with a whisk the yeast, cold water, golden syrup, salt, oil and egg white.
Add the rice flour, quinoa flakes, teff flour and starch. Continue stirring until all is combined and there are no clumps of mixture
Now quickly whisk in the psyllium husks
With a spatula, scrape the bottom of the bowl to ensure it is all mixed through and the dough is smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 ½ hours.

After this time has passed and the dough has expanded

Heat the oven to 2300C.
If you want to cook it in a loaf tin (as in the picture), line the base and sides of the tin now with baking paper.
Sprinkle your bench top with some teff flour and take the dough from the bowl and place it in the flour
You do not need to knead the dough, but rather form it into the shape you desire.
Place the dough into the loaf tin with the smooth side up
(You could free form it into a round or oval cob shape and place it on a tray lined with baking paper).
Cover the bread with a cloth, place back in the warmth and let it prove for 30 minutes more.

After 30 minutes, sprinkle the top of the bread with a little teff flour Place a small heat proof tin in the oven over the rack where the bread will be cooked. Pour about 1 cup of cold water into this tin and immediately place the bread

Turn the oven down to 220 0C and cook for 70-75 minutes.
