It's Here: The Perfect Gluten-Free Bread Recipe

gluten-free-bread-recipe.jpg

This gluten-free bread recipe provides a loaf that has a soft flaky texture and is delicious eaten on its own! It also tastes great with almond butter, avocado and hummus, or any other toppings you prefer! It’s the perfect bread replacement. This nut and seed bread is ideal on the elimination diet we use on the 21-Day Program, or just daily clean eating.

BREAKING IT DOWN

The mixture of pumpkin, hemp, chia, and flax seeds provide this bread with tons of protein and fiber. The almond and coconut flour mixed together with the seeds make this bread nice and fluffy in texture. Nuts and seeds can sometimes be hard for your natural digestive enzymes to break down, but by breaking down the ingredients first in a food processor it makes it easier for your body to digest the nutrients properly. You won’t feel bloated or weighed down after eating this bread.

THE BENEFITS

Pumpkin seeds

These are a good source of zinc which supports immune function, eye and skin health, cell growth, insulin regulation and proper sleep and mood patterns.

Chia seeds

Although tiny they are high in fiber providing almost 11 grams per ounce. One serving provides the recommended fiber intake for the day. Fiber regulates insulin levels and balances your blood sugar levels. Chia seeds are also a great prebiotic which help support and feed the natural probiotics in your digestive system so that you are able to absorb and break down the nutrients you eat more efficiently.

Hemp seeds

A complete protein, hemp seeds are the most easily digested when compared to other high protein foods like meat and cheese. Hemp seeds are made up of ⅓ of oil and ¼ protein which supports cellular health and energy.

Flax seeds

These are high in omega-3 fatty acids and if you eat a strictly plant-based vegan diet these are a great source of the kind of fats that your body craves. These healthy fats support skin, hair, and nails. These fats also help protect the lining of your digestive system and has been shown to be beneficial for people suffering from Crohn’s disease.

Gluten-free Bread

Ingredients:

3 flax eggs (3 Tbsp flaxseed meal + 7.5 Tbsp water and mix together and allow to sit for 5 minutes)
1½ cup almond meal
6 Tbsp hemp seeds
6 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
4 Tbsp chia seeds
3 Tbsp flax seeds
⅓ cup almonds
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
¾ cup almond milk
⅓ cup olive oil
1 Tbsp raw honey (or coconut nectar if cleansing)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon pink himalayan sea salt

Then add the almond meal, coconut flour and baking soda flaxseed egg replacer, almond milk, olive oil, honey or coconut nectar, apple cider vinegar and ½ teaspoon of salt and process until well combined. Mix and then use a spatula to wipe down the sides and pulse again.

You want to make sure all the ingredients are well-combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before pouring into loaf pan and spread it evenly and smooth out using a spatula, then sprinkle with the reserved mixed seeds.
