Ingredients
 

  • ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon plain kefir
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup fine cornmeal (corn flour)
  • ½ cup white rice flour
  • 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon whole flax seeds
  • 1 tablespoon raw sunflower seeds optional
  • teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, crack the egg, add the salt, and whisk lightly with a whisk or fork.
  • Pour in the rice flour and mix well.
  • Add the cornmeal to the bowl and mix again until combined.
  • Add the baking powder and stir again.
  • Gradually pour in the kefir, mixing until the batter is smooth.
  • The batter should be completely smooth, with no lumps.
  • Add the ground flaxseed and mix to incorporate.
  • Add the whole flax seeds and sunflower seeds.
  • Pour in the oil and mix everything well. The batter should have a medium consistency, not too runny but not too thick.
  • Carefully pour the prepared batter into a silicone loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle the top with sunflower seeds or sesame seeds, if you like, and score the top lengthwise with a knife.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes.
  • Let the baked loaf cool completely, then slice and serve with your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature kefir for a more even rise.
  • Fine corn flour works best — avoid coarse cornmeal for a smoother texture.
  • Ground flaxseed can be made fresh by grinding whole flaxseeds in a coffee grinder.
  • A silicone baking dish makes removing the loaf much easier without sticking.
  • Let the bread cool fully before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container; refrigerate for extended freshness up to a week.
