Gluten-free
A customer at a farmer’s market recently gave me the outline for this recipe.I love it, what a treat it is! It is one of best breads I have eaten since I gave up wheat.and gluten, It’s so good I wouldn’t want to swap it for ordinary bread. Try it sweet or savoury; great for breakfast, lunch or picnics, snacks and even canapes.
Low carb, low starch, sugar-free
Another bonus with these ingredients, this bread is low carb, low GI, and super-filling and more sustaining than normal brad or gluten-free loaves.. It has lots of fibre so it’s useful for weight loss diets when you want a slice of bread. It’s also good new if you are cutting down on carbs for a diabetic diet.
Healthier bread
Nutritionally this bread is in a different league to ordinary bread. This is not like other gluten-free breads, it is just made from really high-quality ingredients and it is full of super beneficial nutrients. Linseed gives you lots of omega-3, there’s generous amounts of tummy-friendly fibre from all the seeds and nuts which also provide the important nutrients such as protein, omega-3, protein, minerals and vitamins. The oat-bran adds to the linseed’s soluble fibre and makes it heart-healthy as it helps lower cholesterol.

All the good things for providing all the best sorts of fibre for a healthy, regular comfortable digestion, ground linseed (flax), oat bran, chia, psyllium husk and no dairy, no wheat which makes this a brilliant alternative to traditional loaves. Enjoy,
