Gluten-Free Irish Soda Bread
- Butter, for greasing the baking sheet
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sweet rice flour, plus more for dusting
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) sorghum flour
- 2/3 cup (150 grams) almond flour
- 1/3 cup (50 grams) teff flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) potato flour
- 1 cup (80 grams) rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons (10 grams) flaxseed meal
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup currants
- 2 to 4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a baking sheet and dust it with sweet rice flour.
- Whisk the sweet rice flour, sorghum flour, almond flour, teff flour and potato flour together to aerate and incorporate them.
- Mix in the oats, flaxseed, baking soda and salt.
- Toss in the currants.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in 2 cups of the buttermilk.
- Mix the buttermilk into the flour mixture, gradually adding more buttermilk as necessary, until the dough is moist and soft but not wet, with no visible flour left.
- You will probably use about 3 cups, but feel free to use less or more, depending on your kitchen.
- Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet.
- With lightly floured hands, shape the dough into a round about 3 inches thick.
- Cut a deep cross into the top of the loaf with a wet, serrated knife.
- Beat the egg with the water in a cup.
- Brush the egg wash evenly onto the loaf.
- Bake until the crust is dark brown and you hear a hollow thump on the bottom when you tap it, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a rack.
- Serve warm or cool completely.
