Almond chia bread

gluten free - wheat free - guilt free

To be honest with you, I didnt know what to expect from this bread. 
Especially when I saw the "dough" (below)  ready to be baked.

BUT. I liked the result very much.

Try it yourself and agree with me.

Ingredients needed (for a small loaf):
1 cup almond meal/flour
2 tbsp chia seeds 
30 ml of water
3/4 cup arrowroot or tapioca flour (remember to sift it to remove any lumps)
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
3 eggs
pinch of salt

Instructions:
Soak chia seeds in water, make sure they completely soaked in water. 
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl using the whisk to mix it properly. 
Sift arrowroot, bicarbonate soda and baking powder in another bowl. 
Add almond flour and salt and mix well. 
Add eggs, soaked chia seeds and apple cider vinegar. 
Combine everything well until there are no lumps.
Dont be tempted to add any liquid (the mix is meant to be thick). 
Pour mix into baking tin lined with a non-stick baking paper or a silicon bread mold lightly oiled with olive oil. Bake for 25 mins until the bread is firm to the touch and the top has a golden colour. 
Adjust cooking time to 45-50mins if making a double mix (larger loaf).Enjoy x
