Instructions
Directions
Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly, add all the wet ingredients and stir in, then beat with a food mixer for a minute. If it's not the consistency of Mashed Potato/ sloppy batter, gradually add small bits of water.
Put the mixture into a greased 2lb loaf tin. Deep sides are best as the mixture can run over the edge when it rises. Cover with cling film or a clean tea towel, leave in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes, when it's risen by about a 1/3rd. Don't be tempted to leave it longer thinking it will be a larger loaf as it will either sink in the oven or, end up with large holes and fall apart.
Preheat your oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4
Bake in the middle of the oven for approx 1hr 20mins.
Leave in the tin for about 10 minutes before turning out. If it feels too soft, put back in the oven for another 10 minutes on a baking tray until it's a bit firmer. If you don't do this and you try to cut it once cold, it might be sticky inside. Also, the inside might collapse and you'll just have a cave of crust. I've done this myself on occasion.
The amount of water may vary slightly due to dryness of ingredients weather and slight mis-measuring, so don't add all at once.
Notes
A beautifully soft and light gluten, corn free loaf that toasts well too.Note: Not all Tapioca flour is the same. I've tried a few different ones and always come back to the Tapioca flour from Buywholefoodsonline.co.uk. They also sell it on Amazon.co.uk
