GarlicInfused Oat and Cassava Bread with Parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   **Prepare the Dough**: In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, cassava flour, instant yeast, minced garlic, salt, and fresh parsley. Mix well.

2. 2

   **Add Wet Ingredients**: In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, and maple syrup. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.

3. 3

   **Knead the Dough**: Once combined, knead the dough on a clean surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth.

4. 4

   **First Rise**: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

5. 5

   **Shape the Loaf**: After rising, punch down the dough to release air, then shape it into a loaf. Place it in a lightly greased loaf pan.

6. 6

   **Second Rise**: Cover the shaped loaf again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

7. 7

   **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

8. 8

   **Bake the Bread**: Once the loaf has risen, you can sprinkle some garlic powder on top (if desired) for extra flavor. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   **Cool and Enjoy**: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!
