This hearty gluten-free chia seed sandwich bread is packed with nutrition and perfect for everyday meals. The chia seeds add a delightful crunch, extra fiber, and omega-3s while creating a sturdy, sliceable loaf that holds up beautifully to sandwiches, toast, or even French toast. With a tender crumb and nutty flavor, this bread proves that gluten-free doesn’t mean compromising on taste or texture.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (whole or ground)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pack instant yeast (about 2 and 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Instructions

Activate Chia Seeds and Build the Dough

  1. Combine warm water and yeast in a bowl and let it sit for about five minutes until foamy.
  2. Add honey or maple syrup if desired.
  3. Stir in gluten-free flour, chia seeds, salt, and oil. Mix with a sturdy spoon or hand mixer until the dough resembles thick oatmeal.
  4. Scoop the dough into a lined loaf pan and smooth the top with a wet spatula.
  5. Cover and let it rise for 45-60 minutes until puffy.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until set and slightly golden.
  8. Let cool for at least an hour before slicing.

Notes

The chia seeds help bind the bread together for a sturdy yet soft texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf.
