Wholesome recipes: gluten-free of charge almond, quinoa and pumpkin-seed bread

I have constantly been rather daunted by the concept of making an attempt to make a super-wholesome gluten-cost-free, vegan bread – it just appeared like an extremely hard task. But I can’t tell you how straightforward this recipe is and how great it tastes. The bread is merely perfect, with a superbly rich, wholesome, nutty flavour and a wonderfully soft texture.

Unfortunately there is no substitute for the psyllium husk powder. This works to stick the loaf collectively, and it is definitely important for the recipe. I have attempted following the recipe with out and the bread was as well crumbly. Psyllium is really easy to get hold of, though – each and every overall health foods store sells it. Alternatively an world wide web search will discover endless hyperlinks to internet sites that promote it, as well.

1½ cups pumpkin seeds

½ cup sunflower seeds

2 tbsp chia seeds

three heaped tbsp psyllium husk powder

2 tbsp dried mixed herbs (I use herbes de Provence, but basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano etc are all excellent)

Mix the almonds, quinoa flakes and one cup of the pumpkin seeds in a meals processor for a couple of minutes, until finally it forms a smooth flour. Transfer this into a bowl and stir in the remaining pumpkin seeds plus the sunflower seeds, chia seeds, psyllium husk, dried herbs and salt to taste. Stir the mixture properly prior to slowly pouring in 2½ cups of cold water.

Allow the mixture sit for an hour or so to let it entirely soak up all the water and company up. For the duration of this time heat the oven to 180C/fuel mark four.

When the mixture is really firm (if it is even a small bit runny, include an additional spoonful of psyllium) grease the base of a loaf tin with coconut or olive oil, pour the mixture in and press it down with a spoon. Bake in the oven for forty minutes to an hour, right up until the best starts to brown and you can pull a knife out of the middle without any of the mixture sticking to it. Last but not least, slice, smother in your favourite toppings and get pleasure from.

Storing the bread in the fridge makes it last longer, and you can freeze it, too.
