Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F(180C). Line a 9×5-inch (22.5×12.5 cm) loaf baking pan with parchment paper. If you do not need the bread to be 100% oil-free, grease or or spray the sides of the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the millet flour, ground chia seeds (chia flour), baking powder, and optional salt until blended.
Add the water to the flour mixture and mix (using a wooden spoon, rubber spatula, or clean hands) until completely blended into a thick batter.
Evenly spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 75 to 85 minutes until risen, the surface of the bread is golden brown and cracked, and a skewer inserted near the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the bread cool, in the pan, on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and cool completely on the cooling rack before slicing.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 1 week, and the freezer for up to 6 months.

Millet Flour: Millet flour can be purchased or ground at home from whole millet. Use a high-speed blender to grind the millet to a fine flour (it takes about 1 minute), or grind by the 1/4 cup in a small electric coffee mill.

How to Grind Chia Seeds:
Option 1--Grind in a small blender or electric coffee mill: Measure the amount of chia seeds called for in the recipe (in this case, 90 grams) . I suggest pulsing to grind, and shaking the coffee mill or blender (hold on to the lid!) in between pulses to ensure an even grind. Process until the seeds are a fine flour.

Option 2--Grind in a blender or food processor: You will have the best results by grinding more than you need for this recipe. Most regular size blenders need at least 1 and 1/2 cups of ingredients to blend properly. Process the seeds until finely ground. Measure or weigh the amount of ground chia seeds needed for the recipe.

If using cups, rather than weights to measure the flour, lightly pack the chia flour into the measuring cup(s) to achieve an accurate measurement.
