You never have to buy bread again...👇🏼
I’ve been seeing these ultra-minimal bread recipes all over my feed lately… and while I get the appeal, bread can support you a lot more than just being low calorie or made with two ingredients.
So here is something with a bit more substance behind it.
This one uses buckwheat flour but you can use wholemeal flour instead, alongside olive oil and mixed seeds for extra fibre, healthy fats, texture and a broader range of nutrients overall.
And before anyone asks - yes, homemade bread can absolutely have a place in a supportive way of eating. Food doesn’t need to be stripped back to the bare minimum to be “healthy”.
Sometimes support looks like:
• more fibre
• more satisfaction
• more lasting energy
• meals and snacks that actually keep you going
Recipe below 👇
Ingredients
360g/3 cups buckwheat flour or wholemeal flour
300ml/1 ÂĽÂ cup warm water
300g/2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
2-4 tbsp mixed seeds (I used pumpkin + flax)
Method
Combine warm water and olive oil in a bowl.
Add flour, yeast, salt and seeds. Mix into a thick dough/batter.
Knead and stretch, fold into a ball.
Cover and leave somewhere warm and dark for 1-2 hours.
Transfer onto a floured surface and shape/transfer into a lined loaf tin and top with extra seeds if using. Score the top.
Bake at 175°C for around 45-50 mins.
Cool before slicing.
