1 cup minus 1 Tbsp (110 g) whole-grain millet flour
110 g
½ cup (60 g) tigernut flour (chufa)
60 g
⅓ cup + 1 Tbsp (50 g) tapioca starch
50 g
30 g whole psyllium husk (about 6 Tbsp)
30 g
3 Tbsp (20 g) ground flaxseed
20 g
1 Tbsp (12 g) GF baking powder
12 g
2 tsp (6 g) instant yeast (for flavor)
6 g
1 Tbsp (10 g) allulose
10 g
1 tsp (5 g) fine salt
5 g
1⅔ cups (400 g) liquid egg whites
400 g
⅔ cup (150 g) warm water
150 g
1 Tbsp (15 g) apple cider vinegar
15 g

Method

  1. Whisk the millet flour, tigernut flour, tapioca starch, psyllium, flax, baking powder, yeast, allulose, and salt in a large bowl until evenly blended.
  2. In a second bowl, whisk the egg whites, warm water, and vinegar until foamy.
  3. Pour the wet into the dry and stir with a spatula until no dry pockets remain. The dough will look loose — wait. Rest 15 minutes so the psyllium gels and it thickens into a soft, shapeable dough.
  4. Scrape into a parchment-lined 9×5" loaf pan, smooth the top with wet fingers, and score a shallow line down the center.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50–55 minutes until deep golden and an internal thermometer reads 205°F. Tent with foil at 35 minutes if browning fast.
  6. Cool COMPLETELY on a rack before slicing (at least 2 hours) — slicing warm gums the crumb. Cut into 14 slices.
