• 500 g of oat flour (gluten-free) or alternatively buckwheat flour
• 20 g yeast (fresh or dry)

• 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar

• 1-2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 handful Wild garlic

The flour and salt go into a bowl. The yeast is then crumbled and mixed with honey, vinegar, chopped wild garlic and water. Gluten-free dough is always a little more challenging. You may need to vary the amount of water depending on the flour you use. This is why you don’t have to add everything at once, but knead little at a time until you obtain a homogeneous and not too sticky dough. Now let the dough rise for two hours in a warm place, covered with a cloth. The bread can be baked in a pan or formed into a loaf on a baking sheet. It is cooked at 210°C for about 50 minutes on the central grill.
