Nourishing Nut Seed Bread Food

SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Line a standard-sized loaf pan (approx. 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 in) with parchment paper with the ends sticking out over the sides so you can lift the finished bread out of the pan.
• Add everything except the tahini and water to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• Add the tahini and water and stir into a thick, doughly paste.
• Place the dough in the lined loaf pan and use your hands to evenly spread/press it into the pan until flat.
• Bake for 50 minutes. If you tap the loaf and it sounds hollow, it's done. If not, return to the oven for a little longer.
• Remove from the oven. Let sit for a couple of minutes then use the parchment paper to lift the loaf out of the pan. You may need to run a knife along the edges that don't have parchment paper covering them.
• Let cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before slicing into 12-14 slices. Store in an airtight container the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.

NOURISHING NUT & SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Measure out the amount of nuts/seeds first, then follow grinding instructions. In a food processor, blender, or nut/seed grinder take almonds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds and grind until a fine powder is created. Pour into a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup, herbs/spices, and water until combined. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground nuts and seeds with all other dry ingredients (oats, pumpkin seeds, psyllium husk, sesame seeds, coconut flour, maca) Pour the "wet" mixture from the small mixing bowl into the large mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. (add more water here as needed only) Stir until well combined- the psyllium husk, chia, flax seeds, and coconut flour will rapidly absorb the water and create a dough texture. In a lined bread pan- standard size 9x5 (I like to use parchment paper, well greased or a silicone bread pan), pour the dough mixture into the pan. Evenly spreading the mixture and pressing down until firm and flat on the top. Let set at room temperature for about 2 hours (or more). This is important as the chia seeds, flax seeds, psyllium, and coconut flour will have more time to absorb the liquid mixture and soften. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 60-75 minutes, remove bread loaf pan and either lift the parchment paper from the sides to easily lift the loaf out of the bread pan or you can flip upside down taking the bread loaf out of the pan. Be gentle, this bread is still fragile and hot. Place the bread loaf (without the pan) directly onto the baking rack in the center of the oven, bake for an additional 60 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Let cool at room temperature before slicing (important). Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. You can also freeze this loaf in individual slices. Enjoy!
