Method

  1. Mix the dry yeast, sugar and approximately 100 ml of the lukewarm water with a whisk until the yeast has dissolved well. Then set aside for 5-10 minutes. 
  2. Grind the fennel seeds in a mortar as small as possible. 
    Chop the walnuts into small pieces. 
    Add the dry ingredients into the bread pan of the breadmaker with the kneading blade inserted. 
    Pour in the yeast mixture and the remaining lukewarm water. 

  3. Select the programme "gluten-free bread" and press start. 
    Optional: You can remove the kneading blade after the kneading time is over 

  4. If necessary, press the dough into shape again with a dough scraper (push it down from the edge) and carefully make cuts into the top of the dough. Sprinkle a pinch of rice flour onto the dough for a special look. 
    Optionally also sprinkle 1 tbsp gluten-free oat flakes and more chopped walnuts onto the dough. 

  5. Once the programme finished, switch the breadmaker off, but leave the bread for another 15min inside so that it still receives some heat. Then take the bread out of the bread pan and place it on a board.
