Ingredients:
1 ½ cups oat flour
1 ½ cups ragi (finger millet flour)
¼ cup flaxseeds
½ cup water (for flax gel)
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tbsp corn starch (or arrowroot starch/ potato starch/ rice flour)
2 tbsp jaggery powder (or any sweetener of your choice)
¾ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp oil
1 cup yogurt
¼ cup water (for the dough)
Mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, hemp) for topping
Milk for brushing
Instructions:
👉Make Oat Flour: Start by blending oats into a fine powder to make oat flour. Set it aside.
👉Prepare Flax Gel: Grind ¼ cup flaxseeds into a fine powder. Transfer this flaxseed powder to a bowl, add ½ cup water, mix well, and let it rest for 10 minutes until it thickens into a creamy, jelly-like consistency.
👉Preheat the Pan: While the flax gel rests, preheat a large pan by adding some salt to the bottom, placing a small stand inside, and covering it with a lid. Heat the pan on low-medium heat.
👉Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, ragi flour, salt, corn starch, jaggery, and baking soda. Mix well.
👉Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the flax gel to the dry ingredients. The flax gel acts as a binder and makes the bread soft and moist. Then, add the yogurt and mix everything thoroughly.
👉Form the Dough: Gradually add about ¼ cup water to the mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be just combined, not kneaded.
👉Prepare for Baking: Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined loaf pan. Press it lightly to settle the dough in the pan. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle mixed seeds like pumpkin, sunflower, and hemp seeds.
👉Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated pan, cover it with the lid, and cook on low-medium heat for about 50-60 minutes. Check the bread by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
👉Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. This healthy, homemade ragi oat bread is perfect for toasting, making sandwiches, or pairing with soups, dals, and curries.
👉Alternatively you can bake in the oven at 180°c/ 350°c for 55-60 min.
