This Coconut Flour Bread recipe is easy to make, vegan, gluten-free, yeast-free, no-knead, nut-free, sugar-free and contains no eggs! It's moist and fluffy and best for sandwiches or toast!
1tablespoonapple cider vinegar * (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
To decorate (optional):
Mixed seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Place the coconut flour, gluten-free flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl and mix well.
Add the almond milk and vinegar and mix again.
Transfer the mixture to a loaf tin (I used a one-pound loaf tin) lined with greased baking paper.
Sprinkle over mixed seeds to decorate, if desired.
Fill a baking dish up to halfway with boiling water.
Place the bread on a higher rack in the oven and place the baking dish of water on the lower rack.
Bake in the oven for around 45 minutes, until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Be VERY CAREFUL when opening the oven door to remove the bread, because a lot of HOT STEAM will escape from the oven and you might burn yourself. To prevent this from happening, open the oven door first, then step back until all the hot steam has escaped from the oven before putting your hands inside to remove the bread. Also, make sure to wear oven gloves and a long-sleeved shirt.
Leave to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and before putting away to store (it's much easier to slice the day after it's made).
Tastes best eaten freshly made, but keeps well covered in the fridge for a good few days - if not eaten on the day it's made, it's best toasted before eating.

Notes
*The vinegar is crucial as its acidity reacts with the alkali bicarbonate of soda. If you don't have vinegar you can substitute it with lemon juice.
Make sure to add boiling water to the baking dish.
If the water in the baking dish all runs out during the baking process, make sure to refill it.
