# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients.
02 -
In another bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the warm water, melted coconut oil or ghee, and maple syrup or honey.
03 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined. Let sit for 1-2 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Spray a medium loaf pan (4½ x 8½ inches/11 x 21 cm) with cooking oil spray or grease with coconut oil or ghee.
05 -
Stir the bread mixture again, transfer it to the prepared loaf pan, and use a spatula to pat it down and smooth the top.
06 -
Let the bread sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours for better texture.
07 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the bread for 30 minutes.
08 -
Remove the pan from the oven, place a cooling rack on top, and carefully invert the bread onto the rack. Return the bread on the rack to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until the edges brown and the loaf is slightly puffed.
09 -
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the rack before slicing.

Store the bread in a sealed container or heavy-duty plastic bag in the refrigerator. For freezing, slice the bread first for easier portioning.
