If you feel the need to, you can check the bread while it's baking, by inserting a knife into the center of the dish. When it comes out clean, your bread is ready. Cool and slice.

Recipe # 3 (Dairy Free)

Ingredients

• whole grain flour, 3 cups (ideally organic)
• sea salt, ¼ or ½ tsp
• distilled/purified water, 2½ cups (600 ml)
• olive oil, 1 tbsp
• baking powder, 1 tbsp (non-aluminum)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x5 or 9x9 inch loaf pan with butter, and then dust it with a little flour. Alternatively, you could line the pan with parchment paper. Take a mixing bowl, into which add the flour, sea salt, and baking powder. Sift this mixture two times. In another bowl, mix together the water and olive oil. Add the liquid to the flour mixture and stir till all lumps are dissolved. Pour into prepared pan and place in the middle rack in the oven. Bake for between 50 to 55 minutes. If you feel the need to, you can check the bread while it's baking, by inserting a baker's pick into the center of the dish. When it comes out clean, your bread is ready. The bread should also have a golden brown crust. Let it cool completely on the rack (½ hour or more), before you cut it.

Note 1: You could use flour such as whole wheat, barley, rye, oat, spelt, kamut, etc.
Note 2: Non-glutenous flours such as rice, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, corn, potato, etc., do not hold together by themselves. So the addition of glutenous flour(s) or a binding agent such as egg will be required.

While this is a hard time, these yeast free bread recipes will provide bread you can have along with your breakfast and other meals.
