Gluten free multiseed bread

gluten free multiseed bread cross section

I got a bit bored of the staple winter breakfasts that I alternate between – porridge or cinnamon bagels – and decided to shake things up a bit and make a super seedy and slightly sweet loaf of bread instead. I’m rather pleased with the end result and thought you might appreciate the recipe.

It’s studded with a selection of oh-so-good-for-you (especially for your hormones) seeds, some nuts and a small amount of cranberries. It reminds me of the nut-packed dark bread my gran used to buy in her favourite bakery in Krakow. It was the kind of loaf that was crunchy with nuts and slightly sweet with added honey and we would have some more honey on top usually. I used to love that bread! I definitely inherited my love for nuts, coffee and a general sweet tooth from my late grandma.

This bread is so easy to throw together, you’ll be laughing. It requires no yeast, kneading or proofing! Thanks to buckwheat flour it’s naturally gluten-free, yet there is no need for xanthan gum (or other gums typically added to make gluten-free dough possible) either. Ground up chia (or flax) seeds hold it together just fine. If you can throw a few ingredients into a bowl and give them a good stir, you will manage on your first go, promise.

Dry-toasting nuts and seeds isn’t necessary, but it doesn’t take that much extra effort and gives the bread a deeper flavour so it’s worth it, in my opinion.

This bread is an ideal vehicle for open sandwiches, which are a thing in my native Poland (Germany and Scandinavia too, as far as I know). Both sweet and savoury toppings work well and I can personally think of a few dozen different combinations which I am going to try out in the course of the next few weeks. I hope you’ll love this recipe as much as I do!

  • makes: 1kg / 2lb loaf
  • prep: 15 min
  • cooking: 60 min

Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • 140 g / 1 heaped cup buckwheat flour*
  • ¾ tsp baking soda**
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seeds or chia seeds
  • 85 g / heaped ½ cup almonds (walnuts or hazelnuts)
  • 40 g / ¼ cup flax seeds (I used golden flax seeds), more to decorate
  • 35 g / ¼ cup sesame seeds, more to decorate
  • 65 g / ½ cup pumpkin seeds, more to decorate
  • 70 g / ½ cup sunflower seeds, more to decorate
  • 30 g / ¼ cup dried cranberries (dates, prunes or apricots)
  • ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves (optional)***

WET INGREDIENTS

  • 45 ml / 3 tbsp oil (I used mild olive oil) + more to grease the pan
  • 15 ml / 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1½ tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 360 ml / 1½ cups water

Method

  1. Mix the first four dry ingredients (use BAKING SODA not baking powder – video caption is incorrect!) in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  2. Set the oven to 150° C / 300° F fan forced (or 170° C / 340° F no fan) and grease a 1kg / 2lb baking tin with a bit of oil. I also recommend lining the tin with a piece of baking paper as this bread tends to stick.
  3. This is an optional step, but recommended! Heat up a medium size pan on a low-medium heat. Once hot, add almonds to it. Dry roast the almonds for a few minutes until fragrant and lightly browned on both sides – move them around the pan frequently so that they don’t burn. Remove the almonds from the pan and place them on a chopping board. Add pumpkin and sunflower seeds to the pan and dry roast them together, stirring frequently.
  4. Chop toasted almonds up roughly and if using dates, prunes or apricots rather than cranberries, remove the stones (dates) and chop them into smaller pieces too.
  5. In a small mixing bowl combine all the wet ingredients.
  6. Add cooled-down nuts, seeds and dried fruit to the dry ingredients.
  7. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ones and mix well to combine. Let the batter rest for about 30-60 minutes so that the chia / flax seeds (also known as a flax egg) have had a chance to activate (become jelly-like) in the added moisture.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and decorate the top with extra seeds before putting the bread in the oven.
  9. Bake for about 60 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Let the bread cool down completely before cutting into it and use a serrated knife to cut it.

Notes

 *Buckwheat is a naturally gluten-free pseudo grain that is related to rhubarb, but some brands may get cross-contaminated with gluten during processing so if you have a severe gluten intolerance or Celiac disease, make sure you only purchase buckwheat that has been certified as gluten-free (please be aware that Doves Farm buckwheat flour we show in the video above ISN’T gluten-free certified. We made a mistake and realised it too late)

**Please ingore the fact that the video calls for baking powder (instead of baking soda). It’s a typo that we didn’t spot in time. Baking soda is the correct ingredient.

***If you intend to have this bread with sweet toppings, adding some ground spices and optionally increasing the amount of sweetness (to 2 tbsp maple syrup) is a nice idea. I would start with ½ tsp cinnamon and ¼ tsp ground ginger and nutmeg and a good pinch of cloves. For a savoury take on this bread, nigella seeds make a nice topping and olives a great substitute for dried fruit.

    Hi Ania

    Love the look of this bread but have quiet a few allergies ( wheat, gluten, egg, dairy, rapeseed to name a few plus several spices and meat) from this recipe flax and chia seeds, just recovering from very bad allergic reaction to chia seeds. I did have a mild reaction to flax seeds but don’t want to chance after the chia seeds. I am also allergic to cloves and nutmeg. The spices won’t be a problem I am sure leaving them out won’t be a problem but what could I replace the chia and flax seeds with. I gather it is for binding ingredients, I do use a egg substitute Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg Substitute which is 10 g of powder to 115 ml ice cold water = 1 egg. (looks like beaten egg).

    With all the allergies get stuck with not the nicest of gluten free bread as a lot have egg added as a binding agent ie Schar

    Any suggestions would be great.

    Found your site by chance and am looking forward to trying a lot of your lovely recipes problem is where to start. And when I start not putting on massive amounts of weight that has taken me years to lose.

      Hi Melanie,

      I am sorry to hear about all your allergies, I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. I’ve never tried the egg substitute you mention, but it’s definitely worth a shot. Other than that the only other thing I can think of (apart from chia or flax seeds) is thick (reduced on the stove so that it resembles an egg white) aquafaba, however I have not tried it in this recipe. Some blended silken tofu may work too, but it will change the texture of this bread for sure. It requires a bit of experimentation, I’m afraid. Hope that helps and the best of luck! Ania

    Hi

    Thank you for your reply, I will try with the egg substitute first how many eggs do you think the flax seeds constitute as I imagine some is just seeds which I would have to add another seed in place of.

    Hope that makes sense.

      Hi Melanie,

      Not sure I follow, but 1 flax egg is 1 tbsp of ground up flax to 3 tbsp of water. However in this recipe, I simply added dry flax directly into the mix and let it stand for a bit. Hope that helps and that your substitute works well! Ania

    Thank you, thank you SO much for sharing this recipe!!! Just had my first bite and I’m in love. I’m guessing it freezes well? although I’m not sure there will be anything to freeze after breakfast tomorrow 😆 I’ve been looking for a yeast free (gluten free & vegan) bread recipe for a while now and so happy to have found it! If i could give it 10 stars – I would have.

    I was pressed for time so didn’t get a chance to let the batter rest – just soaked the chia and flax seeds in 1,5 c water while i was toasting the nuts & seeds and it worked well for me.

    Looking forward to experimenting with different fillings. Today i used almonds, hazelnuts, dates, goji berries and cocoa nibs. Yum!

    Hi Ania-your recipe sounds wonderful! Wanted to ask if I could swap buckwheat flour for almond flour, as I am trialing a diet after being diagnosed with a gastrointestinal condition & buckwheat, rye, spelt & wheat are all included in the list of foods I should avoid.

      Hi Pam,

      I’m so sorry to here that you are battling gastrointestinal issues and I hope that things will approve soon. I am not sure whether almond meal would work in this case to be honest as it behaves quite differently to buckwheat flour. It is certainly worth trying, but I am unable to reassure you here as I simply don’t know. Sorry I cannot be of any help this time. Ania

    Hi Ania, what a lovely bread recipe! Absolutely love the taste, especially with the toasted seeds and I used a mix of nuts instead of just almonds.
    My bread came out quite crumbly though, still very moist, but I wasn’t really able to have “slices” of bread. I do think I followed the recipe religiously, but the crumble would suggest that either I used too much water or too little flaxseed meal? Is that correct? Any ideas? I’m a newbie at gluten free baking, but it’s a lot of fun to experiment 🙂

    All the best, Lydia

      Hi Lydia,

      I am so happy to hear that you like this bread! Hmm, crumbly and moist is a bit of a puzzle – I would suggest that it was baked for too long / at too high temp (ovens vary a lot so it may be that yours burns hotter than mine) if it was crumbly, but then you say it is moist so it cannot be that. Did you wait with cutting it until it was cold and I find that using a serrated knife gives me very neat slices. Is your ground flaxseed fresh – can you make a flax egg with it? I have never had it crumble so I am not sure what to suggest. I will try to make it in the next few weeks and see if I can come up with something – I will get back in touch if I do. Sorry I cannot be of any more help. Ania

    Hi Ania,
    thank you for your reply!
    I have waited until the next day before I cut it to have a slice. It is almost too moist and I think that’s why it crumbles away. So what I’m thinking now is either I should have left it in the oven a little bit longer OR I used the wrong flaxseed component? I used Linwoods organic milled flaxseed, when there is probably a big difference between that one and flaxseed meal? It’s probably too coarse to soak up all the water? I kind of hope that’s what it is. I’d rather be a little silly than still not know what I’ve done wrong 🙂

    Thank you for your help Ania! Really appreciate it!

      Hi Lydia,

      Hmm, this is really puzzling. Are you able to try chia seeds next time? Or perhaps mix the flaxseed meal with a little water first and allow it to sit for a while so that it turns into a gel-like consistency before adding to the mixture. I’ve never used Linwoods milled flaxseed myself so I cannot comment on its efficacy, I’m afraid, but it should work just like ground flaxseed, I imagine. Hope we can get to the bottom of this! Ania

    And how long do you think this bread would last if stored in the fridge?

    Hi Ania,
    This looks like a great recipe. My husband discovered last year that he is gluten intolerant. We are having to completely change the way we eat. I find gluten free bread so expensive in the supermarkets and thought I’d try baking my own. Could I completely leave the fruit out of this recipe? Would it still work? To be more savoury I would go with olives, but sadly my husband doesn’t like them.
    Thanks,

      Hi Agata,

      I’m so sorry to hear that you have had issues. I have made this recipe many times and my husband, who is not a very experienced cook, made it for our video (which you can see in the post) so I am confident that the recipe does work. I would make it again for us in fact but due to the crisis I cannot get hold of any buckwheat flour. I can think of two things I could have possibly caused the issues you are describing – did you put ground up chia seeds in the batter? did you allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes before putting it in the oven? Cheers! Ania

      Hi,

      I’m sorry to hear that, but I have made this bread 3 times recently and it held together absolutely fine so I am 100% sure the recipe is solid. Did you use GROUND chia as well as whole chia? It is ground chia that behave like an egg white in conjunction with and bind the loaf together. Whole chia is added just for extra nutrition. Another option is that it has been overcooked, which would render it dry and crumbly too I imagine – if the oven runs hotter than the temperature indicated on the dial or if the loaf was baked past the point of being done. Finally, did you use buckwheat flour or made any flour swaps – that would certainly affect the final texture. Please let me know as I am keen to get to the bottom of this issue as like I say, I retested it again recently with success. Ania

    Hi,
    I really loved this bread. I used raisins as I didn’t have any cranberries. Delicious. I don’t understand people’s comments about the bread being crumbly because it isn’t crumbly at all in my opinion. But you do have to read the recipe quite closely as you may miss out some ingredients or not notice that the bread contains both ground flaxseeds and whole flaxseeds. I’m really happy to find a gluten free bread recipe that doesn’t crumble. I’m definitely going to try the savoury version with olives next. I guess with the savoury version I shouldn’t add the tablespoon of maple syrup? Thanks for the amazing recipe

    thank you for your response. I used ground chia, not whole. I baked at 320 for 50 min because my oven has forced air but doesn’t go down to 300. A toothpick came out clean at 50 minutes so I took it out then. I used buck wheat flour. The only substitutions I made was in the seeds – I didn’t have sunflower so I used macadamia nuts. I’ll try it again some time.

That’s the only other thing I can think of – that maybe baking powder makes it crumbly as we did make that mistake when captioning the video, but it is explained in the recipe so I am sure you didn’t. Gosh, I really don’t know.

    Hi there. I made this bread last weekend. It was indeed delicious, really liked it. Thanks for posting. I had one smalll issue i was hoping you might help with. I didnt have buckwheat flour so used another generic brand of gluten free flour (Doves Farm). It came out quite moist (even after an extra 20 mins in oven). It was almost a cake like texture. I still ate it all though (was still delicious!!). Just wondering how I could correct it next time i make this. Thanks

      Hi Leigh,

      It’s really hard for me to say as I have not tried using this kind of flour in this context. Each flour has different absorbency level so it may be that the amount of water needed to make the bread work with buckwheat flour is too much for the flour you are using. The desired result is that the bread is fairy moist (I enjoy it well toasted) but not like a cake – that sounds too wet. Hope this helps a little! Ania

    Hi Ania!
    Thanks a lot for this recipe, my quarantine sourdough experiment was a disaster so I was happy to find a bread recipe I could bake easily. Which was absolutely the case and the result turned out very nice and tasty. However the next day the bread has some dark green bits (!) which I am not sure are mould or some kind of oxidation. The sunflower seeds seem to be the guilty ones… I used sunflower, pumpkin, chia, flax and sesame seeds, dried apricots and hazelnuts.
    Maybe I should have kept it in the fridge? I kept it at room temperature on a wood board under a tea towel . Or was it not cooked enough? The bread is moist but keeps together well so I think it was well cooked (50 min at 150°C fan). Hard to say but I am really sad I might have to through half of this nutty seedy bread away… Have you experimented a similar issue or had comments of this type before?
    I will try it again for sure, I am a big fan of your blog and recipes in general!

      Hi Clémentine,

      I am absolutely sure it is not mould – it’s too soon for it to develop, I am pretty sure. I have had a similar experience and it’s to do with certain types (not all) of pumpkin seeds, which seem to dye the surrounding areas of the bread. They tend to be very dark green when raw while some others I’ve purchased in the past are a bit of a duller colour. I am pretty sure that’s it. I am having the same bread for breakfast this week and I keep it on the counter too. In my experience it tends to go stale before the mould sets in. Hope that helps! Ania

    Hi, lovely recipe.
    Thinking of making it more savoury adding olives, sundried tomatoes and herbs. I assume that would work?
    I know it seems a daft question as the intent is to be gluten free, but would wheat flour work, and if so, the same quantity?

    Hi Ania. Your reply (29 April) helped loads. I tried it again but with less water (300ml) this time and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your input.

    Hi Ania – many thanks for this amazing recipe. I just baked two loaves and followed your recipe. They look and taste wonderful however I have the same “moist and crumbly” issue. I can’t slice it as it falls apart. From your previous posts it sounds like it may be the quantity of water used that causes this, but not sure. I will try using a dash less water next time and will let you know the result. I plan on posting it on my Instagram and website with recognition to you as some of my followers are gluten free and would also love this recipe. Many thanks.

      Hi Barb,

      Thanks for your kind comment, I am glad you enjoyed this recipe although I am really perplexed by the crumbling issues you and a few others have reported (I’ve had lots of people tag me on Instagram where the bread looked like mine and sliced neatly). I make it regularly (both versions, with ground flax and chia) and I am absolutely sure that the amount of water is correct. I would say that crumbliness indicates something quite the opposite – sounds like the bread is too dry, which is why it crumbles. I wonder if it is an irregularity of one of the ingredients between what is available here (UK) and elsewhere. I’m really not sure tbh. Ania

    Thanks much for the response Ania. I will try it again with less water as it is very moist (contrary to what one would expect from crumbles) before I post it. Does taste quite delicious though. One think your readers might be interested int – I could not find Buckwheat flour anywhere. So I bought the groats and put it in the food processor and it ground it into perfect flour. Best, Barbara

      Hmm, maybe that’s where the water discrepancy lies – homemade buckwheat flour being less absorbent than shop-bought. I am pretty sure that another reader who also had the crumbling issue ground buckwheat groats into flour too.

    Thank you for this recipe. I love the combination of all the seeds and fruits in this bread.
    I did use oat flour ( I just ground a heaping cup of rolled oats) instead of buckwheat. I left the rest of the recipe as is, and it turned out very well.

      Hi Alexis,

      I’m so sorry but I have no experience in this matter at all so I’m not sure I am the best person to ask. Ania

    Oh my!!! Am coeliac & couldn’t source guaranteed Gluten free buckwheat locally so used regular gluten free bread flour and crossed my fingers! It turned out beautifully!! Absolutely delicious and great consistency and that from someone whose major culinary accomplishment to date is making a good cup of tea. Thank you so much!!!! I was so bored of rice and corn cakes!

    Hi there! I’m on all types of sugar free cleanse right now…but can eat everything else in this recipe. Any thoughts to replace the tbls of maple syrup? I can use stevia….?

      Hi Carolyn,

      I suppose so although I have never tried using Stevia so I cannot be 100% sure. You could also try adding some date puree. Ania

    Really good recipe — just what I was looking for! Bonus was that it fit perfectly in my Suffolk clay bread baking dish! I plan to make this a lot, and now I am wondering how best to store it. Sealed? “Loosely” sealed? Refrigerated ?

      Thanks Diana, I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed this bread and that it fits in your favourite bread baking dish, what a bonus! It typically lasts a few days (3-4) in a paper bag, in a bread bin, but what I tend to do is slice it first and then freeze the slices separated by baking paper. I defrost individual slices as needed by toasting them. Hope this helps! Ania

    Thank you for replying so quickly! I’ll add that my loaf was moist and easily sliced, except for the top 1 inch, which crumbled. I left it in the oven a little over 60 minutes (could not get my dog to move away from the door), and perhaps I overbaked it. I read reviews of other breads being crumbly on top, and it was suggested to put some foil over the top towards the end. Making this again today with these tiny changes, and if they work, I’ll report back.

      My pleasure! Yes, two or three people have reported issues with the bread crumbling (not just at the top, they could not cut a neat slice) and I have tried troubleshooting with them. My suspicion is old flax seeds (even if they were recently bought) as they are what holds this bread together. I recently bought a bag of ready-milled flaxseeds from a well known UK brand and they would not jellify at all when mixed in with water. I suspect they were old! Normally I tend to mill my own in a coffee grinder and I never have any issues but on that particular occasion I wanted to speed things up. In your case, however, I do suspect that the bread dried a little too much in the oven. Hope it comes out perfectly next time. Ania

    I’m so excited. Turns out that third time’s a charm! Definitely better when I used the ground flax seeds rather than the chia seeds. But the third time I used a pan that was a tiny bit larger, and instead of buckwheat flour, which my husband can only eat once a week, I substituted Pamela’s gluten free vegan all purpose flour. No crumbles, slices beautifully, and tastes delicious! Thank you so much for your fabulous recipe!
