Fluffy Cassava Bread

- Time 55"
Fluffy grain-free bread with a crunchy, golden crust. The thick bread slices are delicious dipped into olive oil, or (my favorite way) served open-faced with a smear of mayonnaise, prosciutto di parma, and sliced tomatoes. This bread recipe is adapted from Gluten-Free Mediterranean Bread.

Shopping List

Bread
- 200 grams cassava flour (we use this one)
- 180 grams plain Greek or non-dairy yogurt
- 50 grams light olive oil (Note 1)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons seasoning of choice (such as all-purpose seasoning or Italian seasoning)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Combine all ingredients, except the egg wash, in a large bowl. Stir with a spatula until a dough begins to form, and then work it the rest of the way with your hands. It will be ready when the dough consistency just comes together and no large lumps remain.
- Step 3: Place the dough ball onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a small round loaf or shape it into a loaf long log, like a thick baguette. The dough will not rise like a traditional yeasted bread, so keep it about 2 inches tall. When molding the dough, I find it helpful to wet my fingertips often to prevent sticking.
- Step 4: Place the formed bread onto the baking sheet and brush the top and sides with the beaten egg wash. This will give a nice golden crust. Bake the bread for 40 to 45 minutes. It will be done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean. The exact cooking time will vary depending on the size of your loaf. Transfer the cooked bread to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve: Slice and serve. This bread freezes very well.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Light olive oil may be substituted with a 50/50 blend of extra virgin olive oil and a mild oil such as grapeseed, safflower, or avocado oil.
