Cinnamon raisin bread made with gluten-free sourdough starter discard instead of commercial yeast. I made this recipe during the Covid-19 lockdown when yeast had disappeared from the supermarkets. This light and fluffy loaf is very easy to make because there is no kneading; it is more of a batter than a dough. This bread is delicious toasted.
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups raisins
- 2 cups gluten-free bread flour mix
- 0.5 cups buckwheat flour
- 0.25 cups coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- 1 pinch baking soda
- 0.75 cups whole milk , at room temperature
- 0.5 cups gluten-free sourdough starter
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 3 eggs , lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
