Turn rice into bread! Can you believe you can make a whole loaf of bread using rice? That’s right – not even using a spoon of flour. It’s naturally gluten-free so it’s perfect as an alternative to dense gluten-free loaves on supermarket shelves.
When I first saw the George Lee make this on Instagram, I was enamoured with how soft and squishy the loaf was! It was truly the softest gluten-free bread I had seen.
There are two keys to making this magical blender rice bread:
- Soak your rice grains overnight before blending
- Use a super powerful blender
If you don’t have a high power blender, make sure to blitz your rice grains in intervals and give your blender a break when it gets hot.
Check out my IG reel of the process – it’s really simple. Put all the ingredients in the blender and blitz away.
Here is my adaption of his recipe, adding pandan extract to make the bread more fragrant. Give it a go and make sure you tag @ultimateomnoms on Instagram so I can share and give you a shoutout!
