Method

Preheat oven to 180°C and toast linseeds on a tray for 10-12 minutes until slightly darkened.

Whisk water and yeast in a bowl, then stir in yoghurt and toasted seeds.

Combine cornflour, salt, sugar, and psyllium husk powder in a large mixing bowl.

Stir the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.

Allow the mixture to sit for five minutes until it thickens into a sticky dough.

Knead the dough for 10 seconds, return to the bowl, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.

Shape dough into a thick sausage on a lined tray, brush with oil, and rest for 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 240°C, slash the loaf top, dust with cornflour, and bake for 40 minutes.

Cool the loaf thoroughly on a wire rack before slicing.
