Breadmaker Gluten-free & Dairy-free Fruit, Nut & Chocolate Loaf

The walnuts strangely look like the British Isles in this photo!

I am sure a considerable number of you got a breakmaker for Christmas.  Hands up!

And those of you who didn’t get one may well be considering one…

But now it is sitting on the side taking up room and you are not really sure what to do with it!

Well I have the answer for you!  Bake yourself a beautiful, tasty, indulgent fruit, nut and chocolate loaf.  That is what I created when I was sent the Sage breadmaker to try out for them!  (Please note I have only tried this recipe in that machine so please don’t hold me responsible if it doesn’t work in yours!)

Sage

For those of you who don’t know, Sage products are endorsed by Heston Blumenthal himself, so when I was asked to try their breadmaker out I felt very honoured!

It is a beautiful machine, all stainless steel and gorgeous to look at, although like all breadmakers, it takes up a lot of space on your worktops.

It has a gluten-free setting and it is very easy to use…giving you the option to dial in your own timings for each rise, and for the bake, which you can save for next time you use it.  

For someone like me who likes to experiment this is fab!  

You can also make jam in it, but unlike the Zero Gluten Baker, it does not have any settings for cakes, nor does it have anything other than the basic bread pan.  

That aside, it is a nice machine!

So, back to the bake.

Unlike my usual rules of using ingredients that you can buy from the supermarket, I’m afraid I have used some specialist gluten-free flours in this bake.  

I find that Doves flour alone does not make for a good tasting loaf, and it is also nutritionally devoid!  

I would have used my multipurpose rice free wholegrain gluten free flour blend, but then I wouldn’t have been able to share the recipe with you which Sage asked me to do.

My flour blend is now available to buy here.

I have therefore used a couple of flours that you will need to buy in a healthfood shop or on line (you can buy them from Shipton Mill, or Healthy Supplies although I believe Shipton offer the best value).

Slightly sweet, this bread is delicious as a mid afternoon snack and I am sure it would be wonderful toasted.  I have frozen most of my loaf since it was far too moorish to have on the side.  All it needs to bring it back to life is 30 seconds in the microwave (1 slice) and it is as if it is just baked!

I’m really hoping Sage like my recipe as there is a Scraper Mixer Pro up for grabs for their favourite recipe!  I’ve never had a mixer (I do most things by hand or with a hand-held whisk!) so this would be simply superb!

Anyway, without further ado, here is the recipe. I hope you like it…do let me know if you bake it and share any photos you might take on your favourite social media channel tagged #FFF!

Ingredients
  

  • 150 ml warm water - around 27 degrees c
  • 150 ml warm milk - as above
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 30 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 200 g plain gluten-free flour blend
  • 100 g sorghum flour
  • 100 g teff flour
  • 2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp rock or sea salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 50 g raisins
  • 50 g chopped walnuts
  • 50 g dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp ground flax seeds
  • 1/4 tsp vitamin C powder - or crush some vitamin C tablets and measure
  • 4 tsp fast action yeast - check ingredients - I use Allinsons Easy Bake

Instructions
 

  • Place the ingredients in the bread pan in the order specified by your breadmaker. The Sage says liquids, then oils, then dry ingredients, then yeast
  • Add the fruit, nuts and chocolate chips into the fruit and nut dispenser when you hear the first beeping sound. If you don't have one then add them with the dry ingredients
  • Place the bread pan into the machine, select the gluten-free setting, medium crust colour and 1kg loaf size setting if you have these options
  • Press go!
  • As soon as the loaf is baked, remove it from the machine and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Try to leave it to cool for a while before eating as it will continue to cook a little in the cooling process.

I was sent a Sage Custom Loaf Breadmaker for the purposes of creating this recipe and entering the competition to win a Sage Scraper Pro Mixer.  I was not paid for the recipe and was not asked to write this review…but since I liked the machine I have done so!  All words are my own.

    Just wondering if you can replace the egg to make it vegan?

    Thanks

      Hi there! I haven’t done it but I think you could try with a flax egg..1 tbsp ground flax with 3 tbsp water. Let me know how you get on…

    This looks lovely, would I be able to substitute the sorghum flour with something else my son is also corn free and reacts to this? I’m thinking of getting the sage bread maker but waiting for the company to get back to me re the loaf pan size. I want a maker with a longer pan than my current Panasonic machine.

      Hi Helen. You could sub the sorghum flour with oat flour…which you can make by grinding gluten-free oats in a spice or coffee grinder!

      • Helen Byford says

        Thank you for your reply, i will give it a try with the oat flour. I was looking at the zero baker as well as like the attachment bits that come with it but I really liked the fact the sage machines blades retract as we have a problem with the bread breaking up where the blade has been at times and wasting some of the bread. Many thanks.

          Hi Helen, the zero gluten blade drops too and you can remove it if you want to…there is a beep to tell you when. I didn’t find much difference between the two…you still get a hole in the bottom of your bread with the Sage. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the bread when you get to make it!

            That’s really helpfully thank you. Is the loaf pan bigger on either of them?

          • Vicki Montague says

            26th January 2016 at 12:47 pm

            I would say they are about the same…

    This looks incredible (hope you win) and I didn’t know Heston was behind the Sage breadmaker. I will be checking out those flours too. Looks utterly delicious. Thanks for linking up and Happy New Year x

      Hi Vicki, thanks for your comment! I hope I win too ;)!! The flours I used are great…well worth seeking out a I know you like a gluten-free recipe!

    Sounds like a lovely loaf! I do love a nice sweet ‘bread’……. and its great to be able to use the bread maker as a time-saver.
    I’ve been working on a new bread-maker bread for the last few weeks and had a really exciting break-through this week! Can’t wait to share it……. just got to re-test a few times to make sure it’s not a fluke, but the bread is amazing!!!
