Equipment

Ingredients

350 grams rice I used short grain Italian
200 millilitres warm water warm not hot
5 grams salt
7 grams active dry yeast
20 grams honey
30 grams avocado oil any will work

Instructions

Soak the rice in water overnight.
In the morning, drain and discard the soaking water.
In your blender, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.

Nonna's Tip: If your mixture doesn't form bubbles on top, then it is not active. Toss it out and try this step again before proceeding with the rest of the recipe. (Always check the date to make sure your yeast isn't expired.)

Add the soaked rice, salt, and oil to the blender. Blend until smooth and fully combined. The mixture should feel smooth, not grainy.
Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan and spread evenly.
Let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour to rise.
Place the pan in a cold oven, then bake at 350F (175C) for 30-40 minutes, or until set and lightly golden. Let it rest, and enjoy!

Notes

No powerful blender? No problem! You can make this with an immersion blender instead.
Play with the shapes! Bake into a large loaf, 2 mini loaves, or rolls - perfectly versatile so you never get bored.
Swap the sweetener. Instead of honey, feel free to use agave or your favorite sweetener instead.
Use instant yeast. You can swap dry active yeast for instant yeast and skip the proofing step by mixing it directly into the batter.
Swap white rice for brown rice. You'll still need to soak it overnight and the bread will be slightly denser.
