Tip:
Substitute ¼ cup (50 mL) liquid egg white for the egg whites and ½ cup (125 mL) liquid eggs for the whole egg.
Ingredients:
1 cup sorghum 250 mL
⅔ cup lupin flour 150 mL
½ cup cornmeal 125 mL
¼ cup quinoa flour 50 mL
⅓ cup tapioca starch 75 mL
⅓ cup packed brown sugar 75 mL

1 tsp cider vinegar 5 mL
Method:
- In a large bowl or plastic bag, combine sorghum flour, lupin flour, cornmeal, quinoa flour, tapioca starch, brown sugar, yeast and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, using heavy-duty electric mixer with paddle attachment, combine eggs, egg white, water, oil and vinegar until well blended. With the mixer on its lowest speed, slowly add the dry ingredients until combined. Stop the machine and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. With the mixer on medium speed, beat for 4 minutes.
- Spoon into prepared pan. Let rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free place for 60 to 75 minutes, or until dough has risen to the top of the pan. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350ºF (180 ºC).
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the pan immediately and let cool completely on a rack.
To make this recipe egg-free:
