Directions

  1. Whisk agave syrup into warm water in a small bowl, add yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Whisk in eggs and oil.

  2. Combine quinoa flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, salt, and xanthan gum in the bowl of a stand mixer. With the mixer running on low speed, pour in yeast mixture. Mix until dough is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sunflower seeds, mix until incorporated.

  3. Line an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, pour in dough. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free space, 30 to 45 minutes.

  4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  5. Bake loaf in the preheated oven until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 210 degrees F (99 degrees C), 50 to 60 minutes.

  6. Invert loaf onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing.

Recipe Note

This is the first gluten-free bread I've made that I've been truly happy with. It's very reminiscent of a whole wheat bread - nutty and dense, yet gluten-free!
