TIPS and SUBSTITUTIONS
In this case it is. I usually make my gluten free bread recipes without gums, but in this case it is necessary in order to have a bread that is not crumbly, due to the brown millet and rice flours.
They are not necessary, but they are an extra help in the rising of this gluten free bread.
Not a problem, you definitely can enjoy this bread without olives, or replace them with walnuts (if you can have them) or dried tomatoes, for instance!
You can definitely replace the brown rice flour with more millet flour, or other naturally gluten free flours like buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa (these three have pretty strong flavors) or sorghum (this one has a more neutral flavor).
Millet is a naturally gluten free cereal, it is rich in antioxidants and fibers and it has a low glycemic index.
It keeps soft up to 2-3 days if kept well sealed in a dry place and when it dries off you can either toast it in a pan and make bruschettas.
You sure can, slice it and freeze it, so you can heat it up directly in a toaster whenever you want!
You will love this whole grain gluten free bread! It's soft, rustic and flavorful!

📖 Full Recipe
Gluten free millet olive bread {Vegan}
Equipment
- 1 bowl
- 1 spoon/spatula
- parchment paper
- loaf pan
Ingredients
- 7 oz gluten free brown millet flour (200 gr)
- 5.3 oz gluten free brown rice flour (150 gr)
- 5.3 oz potato starch (or other gluten free starch) (150 gr)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon cream of tartar * (optional)
- 1 tsp baking soda * (optional)
- 0,3 oz gluten free dry yeast (7 gr)
- 2 teaspoon guar gum
- 1 teaspoon sugar / agave or maple syrup
- 14.1 oz lukewarm water (400 gr)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 oz (ca) olives (150 gr)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven at 390 F / 200 C
- Mix the dry ingredients
- The dry yeast I use doesn't need to be activated and you only have to let the batter proof for 10 minutes before putting it into the oven. Check the instructions on the bag of the yeast you are using
- Add the water and the olive oil ingredients and mix well
- Incorporate the olives into the batter, saving a handful of olives for decoration
- Pour the batter in a greased loaf pan, add more olives on top and let it proof as per instructions on your yeast bag (15 to 30 minutes would be my advice)
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, depending on your oven (insert a toothpick in the loaf, when it comes out "clean", the bread is ready)
- Let the loaf cool down before slicing it

Hi! I just found your recipe on Pinterest and made it today. The "batter" was more like a dough. Is it supposed to be more watery like an actual batter? Or doughy and shapeable? But the inside came out pretty good and wonderful, but the outside is sooooo tough! I wonder if I did something wrong or 400g of water is just not enough?

Hi! Thank you for your comment! The batter is meant to be more watery, closer to a cake batter. Surely the crust should be crunchy, but not tough (eeek, sorry about that). It can really depend on the brand/quality of the flour used, so maybe your flours absorb more water and you may need to add some water to make it "batter-y". Hope this helps!
