Wholesome 100% Chickpea Loaf | A Gluten-Free Bread Alternative 💯

If you're looking for a gluten-free bread alternative that’s just as satisfying as a traditional loaf, this homemade chickpea bread is a must-try! Made with chickpeas, walnuts, and psyllium husk, it has a rich, hearty texture and a nutty depth of flavor that pairs perfectly with any topping.
Chickpeas are a fantastic source of plant-based protein and fiber, promoting digestive health and helping to stabilize blood sugar levels. Walnuts add crunch and a dose of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, supporting brain function and heart health. Psyllium husk, a natural fiber powerhouse, aids digestion and gives this bread its wonderful structure without any gluten. Together, these ingredients create a bread that’s both nourishing and satisfying, perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or alongside your favorite meals!
Enjoy this guilt-free, nutrient-packed loaf fresh out of the oven or toasted with your favorite spreads!

Directions:
Soak the raw chickpeas overnight in water, preferably in the fridge.
Rinse the soaked chickpeas thoroughly and strain them well.
Blend the chickpeas with lukewarm water in a food processor until smooth.
Add salt, instant yeast, honey (or sweetener of choice), olive oil, and psyllium husk. Blend again until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a working surface and wet your hands to prevent sticking.
Flatten the dough into a large rectangle and insert walnut halves if using.
Roll the dough over itself to create a loaf, then smooth the surface by massaging it with wet hands.
Place the loaf on a parchment-lined baking pan, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), score the loaf, and bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving with your favorite accompaniments.
