Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease the baking sheet with butter and dust lightly with sweet rice flour.
In a large bowl, whisk together the potato flour, buckwheat flour, almond flour, sweet rice flour and sorghum flour. Add in the raisins and mix them in with the flours.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flaxseed, oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add it to the flours and mix well.
Add the buttermilk to this dry mixture and mix until the dough is moist and fully mixed.
Scrape the dough onto the baking sheet and shape it until it is round and about 3 inches thick. With a knife, cut a deep cross into the top of the bread. Whisk together the egg and the water and brush it evenly on the top of the bread.
Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes, until the crust is a dark brown and you hear a hollow thump when you tap it.
