No reviews

A quick, no-yeast gluten-free bread that comes together in under an hour, featuring the subtle flavors of Himalayan pink salt and a pleasing crumb.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 slices (1 small loaf) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g (2 1/4 cups) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum included)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (5 g)
  • 3/4 tsp fine Himalayan pink salt (4 g)
  • 2 tbsp sugar or honey (optional, 2530 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 240 ml (1 cup) buttermilk or plain Greek yogurt thinned with 2 tbsp water
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) neutral oil (vegetable or light olive oil)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl: gluten-free flour, baking soda, pink salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk/yogurt, oil, and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Pour wet into dry and fold gently with a spatula until just combined — a few small streaks are fine.
  5. Transfer batter to the pan, smooth the top, and bake for 35–45 minutes until golden and a toothpick near center comes out clean.
  6. Cool for 15–20 minutes in the pan, then remove and finish cooling on a rack before slicing.

Notes

For best texture, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature and do not skip the acid to avoid a metallic taste.
