Ingredients

• 1 cup Millet flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup Rolled oats
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking soda
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1 cup Buttermilk (or plant-based milk with 1 tbsp vinegar)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Honey or Maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine millet flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in olive oil and buttermilk. Add minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and honey or maple syrup if using.
4. Combine: Stir everything together until a sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 2: Bake the Bread

1. Transfer to pan: Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 3: Serve

1. Slice and enjoy: Once cooled, slice Rosemary Garlic Millet Bread and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with butter, cheese, or as a side to your favorite dishes.
