Jowar, Rajgira, Banana and Chia Seeds Bread recipe | Indian Millet & Amaranth Banana Bread | Gluten-Free Banana Superfood Bread |
This Jowar, Rajgira, Banana and Chia Seeds Bread is a truly remarkable creation, blending the goodness of ancient grains with contemporary superfoods to create a Gluten-Free Banana Superfood Bread. It's a testament to how wholesome ingredients can come together to produce a rustic, satisfying loaf that's bursting with natural flavors and incredible nutritional value. This recipe aims to provide a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional wheat-based breads.
The foundation of this Millet & Amaranth Banana Bread lies in its unique flour blend. It combines 1 cup of jowar (white millet) flour, known for its earthy flavor and nutritional benefits, with 1/2 cup of rajgira (amaranth) flour, a powerhouse of protein and minerals. To enhance the texture and provide a natural binding, 1/4 cup of arrowroot (paniphal) flour is included. The addition of 1/4 cup of mashed banana not only lends a pleasant, natural sweetness but also contributes to the bread's moist and soft texture, offering a nice mouth-feel.
Beyond the flours and fruit, this bread is fortified with several superfood ingredients. 1 tbsp of chia seedsare integrated into the dough, providing a boost of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. A clever inclusion is 1 tbsp of isabgol (psyllium husk), which, when combined with water and allowed to sit for 2-3 hours, forms a gel-like consistency crucial for binding the gluten-free flours and adding extra fiber. The bread also incorporates 1 tsp of instant dry yeast for leavening, 1/2 tsp of sugar to activate the yeast, 1/4 cup of olive oil for healthy fats, 2 tbsp of honey for additional sweetness, and 1/2 tsp of salt to balance the flavors.
The preparation involves a meticulous yet straightforward process. First, the isabgol is combined with water to form its gel. Separately, the yeast is proofed with warm water and sugar. All the dry and wet ingredients are then combined in a deep bowl and kneaded into a soft, loose dough using warm water. This dough is then transferred to a greased bread tin and generously topped with a mix of flax seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds. These seeds not only add a delightful crunch but also contribute to the bread's already impressive nutritional profile.
Once the dough is in the tin, it's covered with a damp muslin cloth and left aside for 45 minutes to rise. This crucial resting period allows the yeast to work its magic, contributing to the bread's airy texture. After rising, the bread is baked in a pre-heated oven at 180°C (360°F) for 30 minutes, emerging golden brown and fragrant. Once slightly cooled, it's demoulded and can be sliced using a sharp bread knife.
This Gluten-Free and healthy loaf boasts a rustic flavor and a satiating texture, making it versatile for consumption—whether plain, toasted, or grilled. It can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days, ensuring freshness. This Jowar, Rajgira, Banana and Chia Seeds Bread is an awesomely wholesome loaf, perfect for anyone seeking a nutritious, hearty, and naturally sweet bread option.

I made this sweet bread and relished by applying some warm butter. The sweet and salty flavor works heavenly! Also, the chia seeds added a crunch to it.
