NUT AND SEED BREAD

THIS BREAD IS SO EASY TO MAKE AND THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE IS UNDENIABLE. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU’LL FEEL BETTER AFTER EATING THE BREAD, AND IT ASSISTS IN A CLEANSE.

THIS HEALTHY REPLACEMENT OF BREAD WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON HOW YOU FEEL AND YOU WILL LOVE THE DIFFERENCE.

THE RECIPE IS SIMPLE AND SO ARE THE INGREDIENTS, AND THE HEALTH BENEFITS ARE COUNTLESS.

YOU CAN USE THIS AS A LUNCH BREAD, BREAKFAST TOAST OR DESSERT.

I LOVE AVOCADO ON THE BREAD, AND LOVE TO MAKE A HARDBOILED EGG SANDWICH WITH OLIVE OIL, OR SMOKED SALMON AND TOMATOES. THERE ARE SO MANY TASTY SANDWICHES OPTIONS. IT ALSO MAKES FOR A YUMMY TREAT WHEN YOU ADD RAISINS OR SMALL CHUNKS OF GINGER OR CRANBERRIES TO THE RECIPE TO MAKE IT BREAKFAST TOAST OR DESSERT BREAD. FRESH FRUIT JAMS IN THE SEED AND NUT BREAD ARE SO DELICIOUS!

I LIKE TO MAKE A FEW BECAUSE THE BREAD IS EATEN UP QUICKLY. I SLICE AND FREEZE THE BREAD THEN TOAST WHEN READY TO EAT.

HERE IS THE RECIPE:

THE LIFE-CHANGING LOAF OF BREAD
1 cup / 135g sunflower seeds
½ cup / 90g flax seeds
½ cup / 65g hazelnuts or almonds
1 ½ cups / 145g rolled oats
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
4 Tbsp. psyllium seed husks (3Tbsp. if using psyllium husk powder)
1 Tsp. fine grain sea salt (add ½ tsp. if using coarse salt)
1 Tbsp. maple syrup (for sugar-free diets, use a pinch of stevia)
3 Tbsp. melted coconut oil or ghee
1 ½ cups / 350ml water

DIRECTIONS:
IN A FLEXIBLE, SILICON LOAF PAN COMBINE ALL DRY INGREDIENTS, STIRRING WELL. WHISK MAPLE SYRUP, OIL AND WATER TOGETHER IN A MEASURING CUP. ADD THIS TO THE DRY INGREDIENTS AND MIX VERY WELL UNTIL EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY SOAKED AND DOUGH BECOMES VERY THICK (IF THE DOUGH IS TOO THICK TO STIR, ADD ONE OR TWO TEASPOONS OF WATER UNTIL THE DOUGH IS MANAGEABLE). SMOOTH OUT THE TOP WITH THE BACK OF A SPOON. LET SIT OUT ON THE COUNTER FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS, OR ALL DAY OR OVERNIGHT. TO ENSURE THE DOUGH IS READY IT SHOULD RETAIN ITS SHAPE.
PRE-HEAT THE OVEN TO 350 AND BAKE FOR 20 MINUTES. REMOVE FROM PAN TO FLIP OVER, THEN BAKE THE UPSIDE-DOWN DOUGH FOR 30 MORE MINUTES.
YOU CAN SLICE IT AND FREEZE IT AND THEN TOAST WHEN YOU WANT TO EAT IT!
