Ingredients

2.5 cups millet flour see notes for grinding your own
1.25 cups flaxseed meal preferably golden flaxseed meal
3.5 teaspoons baking powder certified GF, as needed
2 cups water I use filtered tap water
1 teaspoon salt optional/adjustable

US Customary - Metric

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 spray the sides of the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the millet flour, flaxseed meal, 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. Using a knife, make a slash, at least 1/2 inch (1 cm) deep down the length of the loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 to 65 minutes until risen, the surface of the bread is golden brown and the center slash is cracked open, 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-full in a small electric coffee mill.
