This easy gut friendly bread is made with just 3 main ingredients and doesn't cause a blood sugar spike. I love how its nice and crusty and perfect for toasting. It's Bio-Alai friendly so perfect for anyone with intolerances or constipation, however I do find that people with SIBO find flaxseeds aggravating on their digestion, so best to avoid. This flaxseed bread is high in Omega 3's as well as 100% gluten-free, wheat-free, flourless, low-carb, sugar-free, yeast-free, egg-free and dairy-free for intolerances. I particularly like it served hot out of the oven and dipped in rosemary infused, salty olive oil. Enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole golden flaxseeds (linseeds), ground into a fine flour (do NOT use pre-ground flaxseed meal)
- 4 tablespoons psyllium husks, ground to a powder (measure after grinding)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda and 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or 2 teaspoons aluminium-free gluten-free baking powder when not on Bio-Alai protocol)
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
- 1 1/3 cups of hot water
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Blend the flaxseeds in a Thermomix or small blender until floury. Transfer to a medium-large bowl.
- Blend psyllium husks to a powder (measure amount after grinding).
- Add psyllium husks to flaxseed along with baking soda and salt. Stir with a spoon.
- Pour in the hot water and mix with the spoon, kneading with your hands once cool enough to handle.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a round disk.
- Lightly wet the top of the dough and sprinkle with extra whole flax seeds, then bake for 45-50 minutes until it doubles in size and has a golden brown crust. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
