Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts), roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by roughly chopping your mixed nuts and measuring out all the seeds. Toast them lightly in a dry pan to enhance their flavor and bring out their natural oils for a richer bread.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the chopped nuts, toasted seeds, ground flaxseeds, baking soda, natural gelling agent, and sea salt in a large bowl. Stir everything well to distribute the raising agent evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the water and apple cider vinegar (natural). Mix vigorously so the natural gelling agent activates and binds the ingredients into a thick, sticky dough.
- Let the Dough Rest: Allow the dough to rest for about 15 minutes at room temperature. This gives the natural gelling agent time to develop a firm structure, ensuring your bread will hold together beautifully.
- Bake Your Bread: Transfer the dough into a parchment-lined loaf pan, smoothing the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 50 minutes or until the crust is firm and golden brown. Cool completely before slicing to preserve the dense yet tender texture.
Notes
- Use fresh nuts and seeds for better flavor and crunch.
- Lightly toast nuts and seeds to enhance the nutty aroma.
- Measure water carefully to achieve a thick batter consistency.
- Cool bread completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Experiment with different nuts and seeds for varied textures and nutrition.
