Ingredients

3 cups chickpea flour
1 tsp sea salt
1-2 tsp dry rosemary
1 tsp baking soda
1.5 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
5 Tbsp psyllium husk
4 Tbsp ground flax
1.75 cups water
1 Tbsp sesame seeds (mix white + black for visual appeal)
1 pinch sea salt flakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 355”F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl whisk together the psyllium husk, flax and water until smooth and there are no lumps. Set aside to thicken.
5 Tbsp psyllium husk, 4 Tbsp ground flax, 1.75 cups water
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the chickpea flour salt and rosemary. Add the baking powder and baking soda and pour the vinegar on top to activate it.
3 cups chickpea flour, 1 tsp sea salt, 1-2 tsp dry rosemary, 1 tsp baking soda, 1.5 tsp baking powder, 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
Add the thickened psyllium husk and flax fixture to the flour and using a spatula fold everything together until fully incorporated. If needed use your hand and knead everything together until combined but try not to overdo it.
Lightly spray the parchment paper with olive oil and dump the dough in the middle.
Oil your hands to prevent sticking and form the dough into a long batard style loaf approximately 2 inch thick or so.
Use a sharp serrated knife and score the top of the loaf lengthwise then sprinkle the sesame seeds and salt flakes on top. Use the palm of your hand and gently pat them into the dough to stick better if needed.
1 Tbsp sesame seeds, 1 pinch sea salt flakes
Bake your bread in the preheated oven for 1 hour until nicely golden brown. Transfer the loaf to a cooling rack and allow it to cool for 15 minutes before slicing into it.
