Shopping List

Bread
- 1 cup + 1/3 cup cassava flour
- 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons plain Greek or non-dairy yogurt
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- 3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- red pepper flakes, to taste Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing on top)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Combine all ingredients, except the tomatoes, in a large bowl or mixer. Do not over-mix the dough. It will be ready when the dough consistency just comes together and no large lumps remain. Gently fold the tomatoes into the dough.
- Step 3: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Shape it into 1 long log(s), like a thick baguette. The dimensions of each log should be around 8 inches long x 2.5 inches wide x 1.5 inches tall. Keep in mind that the dough will not rise like a traditional yeasted bread. Place the bread onto the baking sheet and brush the top with beaten egg wash all over. This will give a golden crust.
- Step 4: Cook for 35 to 40 minutes, the bread will be done when it is lightly golden and firm. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your loaf. The top will crack slightly, like a regular bread. Transfer the cooked bread to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy. This bread is great on its own, dipped in olive oil, or eaten with prosciutto.
