Can I replace the psyllium husks or leave them out?

Unfortunately not! Without psyllium husks, the bread won't be as moist. Unfortunately, there is no good substitute. Make sure that you use whole psyllium husks and not psyllium husk powder.

Can I use a different type of flour for this bread recipe?

I have not yet tested it myself and therefore cannot guarantee that it will work, as every (gluten-free) flour has certain baking and liquid-binding properties.

Can I omit the turmeric?

Of course! Turmeric only provides a yellow color in this recipe - and of course it also has anti-inflammatory properties!

1 1/2 cup (150 g) quick oats
1 ½ - 2 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric (optional)
2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Place the buckwheat flour, oats, salt, turmeric and baking powder in a large bowl and mix together.
Stir the psyllium husks, linseed, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar into the water and leave to soak for 15-20 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C).
Stir the psyllium husk mixture once and then add to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or silicone spatula to form a dough.
Transfer the bread dough into a 9-inch (25 cm) long loaf tin, lined with baking paper if necessary, and spread it out. Sprinkle with rolled oats if desired and press down lightly.
Bake the bread for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven and leave to cool briefly. Then remove from the tin and leave to cool completely.
Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for two days, in the fridge for about 4 days or in the freezer for up to four months.

Notes

I recommend cutting the bread into slices as soon as it has cooled, dividing it into several (silicone) freezer bags and freezing it. It will keep longer this way. When you get a craving for bread, grab a bag and defrost the slices at room temperature. Even better: toast in the toaster.
