Gluten Free Seeded Bread
/
We’ve borrowed this recipe from the excellent Mind Food by Lauren Lovatt - we seriously love every recipe in this cookbook! This seed bread can be made in a loaf or in small buns and can be made savoury or sweet. All super easy to make, full of fibre and seed goodness and nearly all the ingredients you need to make them are available from us and it means you can have bread buns with no plastic packaging!
You’ll need a mixing bowl and baking tray.

Total cost from Incredible Bulk approx £2.59
Method
Preheat oven to 180C.
Add all of your ingredients to a bowl, pour in the water slowly, start with 350ml and add more if you need (you’ll need less water for the sweet version due to the banana). Mix will be quite wet to begin with, leave the mixture to rest for 10 mins when it should come together. Here you can decide if you want to place in a lined or greased loaf tin or roll the dough into balls for buns. Add more water if mix seems dry.
Bake for 30mins - 40 mins (loaf will take longer) until golden on the outside. Test if they are cooked through by gently piercing a small knife through- if it comes out clean they’re ready!
Once ready remove from oven and allow to cool as they continue baking.
Store in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
Serve cool or can be heated.
