Gluten-Free Sesame Sandwich Bread

This homemade gluten-free sesame sandwich bread is a delicious alternative to shop-bought loaves, offering a rich, nutty flavour and a soft, resilient crumb. By using a clever blend of naturally gluten-free flours like chickpea, sorghum, and amaranth, this recipe achieves a complex savoury profile that pairs perfectly with both sweet and savoury toppings. The addition of toasted sesame seeds throughout the dough provides a delightful crunch and an aromatic depth that elevates your morning toast or midday sandwich.

As a vegetarian-friendly bake, this loaf is highly versatile and keeps exceptionally well when wrapped in foil. The method uses a unique combination of buttermilk and molasses to ensure the bread stays moist and develops a beautiful golden-brown crust in the oven. Whether you are following a restricted diet or simply looking to expand your baking repertoire, this nutritious loaf is a reliable staple for any kitchen. Serve it sliced thick with salted butter or use it as a robust base for smashed avocado.

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Sesame Sandwich Bread

  • 3 cucchiai di burro non salato

  • 4 tablespoons sesame seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin, from 1 (5g) envelope

  • 1 cucchiaino di zucchero

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, from 1 (5g) package

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

  • 60ml buttermilk, room temperature

  • 1 tablespoon molasses

  • 60g tapioca flour

  • 6 tablespoons chickpea flour

  • 30g almond flour

  • 30g coconut flour

  • 30g amaranth flour

  • 30g sorghum flour

  • 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal

  • 2 tablespoons potato flour

  • 2 tablespoons cornflour

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthum gum

  • 3/4 teaspoons fine sea salt

  • Special equipment: 1 (8- by 3 3/4- by 2 3/8-inch) loaf pan

Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 218°C. Butter loaf pan.

In small saucepan over moderate heat, heat butter until hot but not smoking. Stir in 3 tablespoons sesame seeds and sauté until seeds are golden brown and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Transfer mixture to small bowl and let cool to room temperature.

In small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water. Stir, then let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.

In large bowl, stir together sugar and 120ml warm water (41°C to 46°C). Sprinkle yeast over and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 2 eggs, buttermilk, molasses, butter–sesame seed mixture, and gelatin mixture, and whisk to combine.

In large bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, whisk together tapioca flour, chickpea flour, almond flour, coconut flour, amaranth flour, sorghum flour, cornmeal, potato flour, cornflour, xantham gum, and salt. Add wet ingredients and beat at moderate speed until dough is aerated and holds its shape, about 4 minutes. Scrape down bowl, then beat at high speed for 1 minute. Transfer dough to prepared pan and smooth top with rubber spatula. (If necessary, use a wet hand to smooth completely.) Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place until dough is just level with top of pan, about 1 hour.

In small bowl, whisk together remaining egg and 1 teaspoon water. When dough has risen, lightly brush egg wash over top, then sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

Bake bread until firm, about 30 minutes, then carefully turn loaf out of pan and continue baking directly on oven rack until bottom sounds hollow when tapped, about 15 minutes more. Transfer to wire rack and cool at least 1 1/2 hours before slicing. (Store bread, wrapped in aluminum foil, 3 days at room temperature, 1 week refrigerated, or 1 month frozen.)
